Today is…National Chocolate Éclair Day
#NationalChocolateEclairDay
#ChocolateEclairDay
This day celebrates the chocolate éclair, a chocolate icing topped version of a pastry invented in France in the mid-19th century. Éclairs are an oblong pastry made with choux dough, which is a light pastry dough made with only butter, water, flour and eggs. The treats are made by being piped through a pastry bag, and being baked until they are crispy. Their hollow inside is filled, usually with custard or cream, and icing is put on top. Their name means €œflash of lightning€ in French, because they are eaten in a flash, or very quickly. They sometimes are confused with long johns, but those are made with doughnut pastry not choux dough!
Every day we look for the best in Positive News so that you might have a great start on your day. Thank you for taking the time to read, share and support our mission.
