An éclair is an oblong pastry made with choux dough filled with a cream and topped with chocolate icing. The dough, which is the same as that used for profiterole, is typically piped into an oblong shape with a pastry bag and baked until it is crisp and hollow inside.
You can shape this as you wish, despite the original éclair is an oblong pastry! I just love the variations we have here.
