An éclair is a small finger-shaped cake made of a special kind of pastry, with cream inside and usually chocolate on top. Éclairs are generally thought as being very tasty but rather bad for you. They have been used in advertisements with the words ‘Naughty but Nice’. Éclairs make a lovely dessert when served with French vanilla ice cream, or as a tasty addition to a lovely brunch.
Did you know?The word éclair comes from the French éclair, lit. "lightning," from Old French esclair, from esclairare "to light up, make shine," from Latin exclarare "light up, illumine," from ex- "out" + clarus "clear." The sense is perhaps the "lightness" of the confection.
