I have a wonderful recipe for them. But I've noticed that people fry a sweet yeast donut dough and fill them with a cream filling, top with chocolate glaze and call it a chocolate eclair. Yeppers. I have had the real ones a few times. Not even in the same class. They are very tasty compared to the trash they pass of in the doughnut shops. -JIM-

Now you guys are talking real baking. It is a shame that what they pass off in the typical chain shops can actually be called doughnuts, eclairs, creme puffs, or the like. That is real pastry. -JIM-

We have this pastry shop in Corvallis that's very good. Not your average bakery. Tres Chic. I tend to ramble. Feel free to put me on ignore.

Not your average bakery. Tres Chic. LINK That does look great. We have a shop in Calgary that is similar, but it is across town, well over a 30 minute drive. Maybe that's a good thing. Though I bet if I checked there may be another one closer. In between are a ton of Tim Horton's though. -JIM-
