Salt&Chocolate Éclairs
With Natalia Lototska
Summer flies and it's time to open the doors of my kitchen to discover new recipes with the people you know.
Open Kitchen starts sweet autumn with the guest from Green Country - Natalia Lototska!
We are cooking Chocolate Éclairs with Salt today. But before starting to explore new tastes, let`s dive in the history of the dessert itself to know more about the origin of éclairs!
So, what exactly are the éclairs?
A true éclair is long, thin pastry made with custard cream and coated with glaze. Actually, “Éclair” is french word for - “lightning”. It`s believed that pastry received it`s name because of sparkled glaze. In our recipe we use classic chocolate glaze.
Moreover I propose you to watch the video from Kitchen Chemistry about chocolate. I believe that knowing the nature of the products will help you to cook them in more tasty way! And knowing the process of chocolate preparation will make your chocolate dishes even more
