Such delicious, simple pastries will delight you and your loved ones on cold January evenings. It is prepared simply and quickly. If someone doubts whether to bake or not to bake, do it boldly. I want to say a few words about this wonderful dessert. Once upon a time I baked eclairs, then somehow the recipe was forgotten, lost, like many other equally excellent desserts that can be prepared both on holidays and on weekdays. I’ve looked at a lot of recipes on the internet and on websites. I’ve baked eclairs three times in the last week. And all three times I came to the conclusion that these recipes do not suit me at all, the dough is too liquid, the temperature does not match, the proportions are too complex, it is not necessary to measure grams and milligrams in such a simple baking. So we need to change the proportions! I decided to act as my intuition tells me, but it’s still worth sticking to some nuances in the recipe. If you have never baked this dessert, take it boldly. Everything is outrageously simple and surprisingly fast.
