Hello DTube and Steemians!

In this episode of In the Kitchen with Matt I will show you how to make Eclairs. This homemade chocolate eclair recipe is easy to make using a basic choux pastry from scratch. Choux pastry is used in a number of desserts like eclairs, cream puffs, etc. Eclairs are an elegant and tasty treat, and once you make them you friends and family will think you are a master baker, little do they know how easy they are to make. If I can do it, you can do it, let's get baking! :)
