FAQ
Q: Can I use instant pudding mix for the filling? A: Yes, you can use instant vanilla pudding mix as a shortcut. Simply prepare according to package instructions and fill the eclairs as directed.
Q: My choux pastry didn’t puff up. What went wrong? A: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking and do not open the oven door during the baking process. The steam trapped inside the dough helps it puff up.
Q: Can I freeze the eclairs? A: It’s best to freeze the choux pastry shells separately. Fill and glaze them after thawing to maintain the best texture and flavor.
