HOMEMADE ECLAIRS
My hubby is constantly buying store bought eclairs. He will buy them from the bakery or even a bin of the frozen eclairs. He is seriously addicted. He has passed his addiction down on to my son. I kind of feel like they have a father-son bonding moment on the evenings that they have a batch of eclairs to enjoy. They are seriously comical when they get so excited about enjoying their pastries.


The ingredients needed to make your own homemade eclairs are quite simple. You will find most of the ingredients already in your cabinets. They are quite simple to make just a bit of time is needed. Please do not let the long directions scare you from making these delish pastries. They really are not difficult at all. I have been terrified of making them myself but kicking myself in the butt for not making them much sooner.
