You will begin by creating classic choux pastry from scratch using a simple but essential mix of flour, butter, eggs and water. Next, delve into the art of blending a silky vanilla custard using milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla and cornstarch. Finally, bring it all together with a smooth fondant glaze made from sugar, water and simple syrup to give your éclairs that bakery-fresh glossy finish. With simple step-by-step instructions, an engaging atmosphere and authentic French techniques, you’ll leave with a box of stunning éclairs and renewed confidence plus the ability to recreate the recipes at home.
