I tried my hand at eclairs today for the gang at Green Mesquite. I thought they might want a change from chocolate chip cookies. They were apparently good because I only have 2 left. I took some recipes (pastry cream, puff pastry and chocolate glaze) from school and cut everything in half. It yielded about 14 puff pastries and mini eclairs. It took a few hours but they came out pretty good for the first try at home. Kevin volunteered to be the tester so I took a few over to him. I think I'll increase the next batch to get it up to 20. I want a few left over for myself next time.
