Eclairs

[SmokyMose]

Well, the Mrs. has developed an addiction to Eclairs and the Kroger bakery wants $4.99 for 4 and I said I could give them a shot. It didn't take her long to find a recipe LOL!
Vanilla Bean
Filling
Dough squirted out with a pastry bag and egg washed
Out of the oven and cooling
Filled and ready for chocolate
Time to chill
Yum!
After a lot of work and mess I got 10 of them. I don't know if I'm saving any money (10 eggs!), but she says they're better than Kroger's :-)
This is my second batch. The first was a chaotic "learning experience" with pastry bags.....
It's kind of a long process so if any one is interested PM me and I'll direct them to the website.
My arthritis is acting up this morning and it's getting hard to type :-(
Thanks for looking and keep trying new things!

I haven't had an eclair in a while. I used to like eating them semi-frozen,

Point for sure
