Disastrous eclairs
2 days ago, I decided to make éclairs, I have never made éclairs before but it didn’t look so difficult so decided to give it a go. All went well and, the batter did look a bit wet but then I was following a recipe, I popped them into my oven and waited for it to rise and turn golden.
It did turn golden but somehow it just stayed flat!!, To make matters worse my whipped cream turned all gooey when I pipped it into the éclairs ( I made a small hole and tried piping the cream ). I had hoped that the cream would puff it up, like a bicycle tyre. I know it was quite funny. Thankfully I am married to a man who likes sweet things so I have just a couple of éclairs left. Oh well until next time.
hahaha! they look more like biscuits with choclate smeared on them :) did they taste good?
ReplyDeleteAs long as it tastes well can be taken well.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have a very supportive husband. Don't worry you are not alone. I also have a lot of failures in my baking journey. Learn from our mistakes. I am sure you can do it one day. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone my friend, I have lots of cooking mishaps...
