These eclairs were exceptional!!!!!! My son works for a company that makes the frozen eclairs you buy in the freezer section of your grocery store, so we have eclairs fairly often. This recipe beats those eclairs by a long shot. After you make them the first time, you will understand how easy they really are to make. Try them, you wont be disappointed.

These are the best Eclairs I've ever had. I make these exactly as directed and they turn out perfect everytime. I'm told they are better than fresh from a bakery. Thanks so much!!!

By far one of the best recipes I have ever made. This has been the best find on allrecipes for me. Takes so time but soooo worth it.

The pastry came out fabulously.But it does make around 15 eclairs. As another reviewed suggested I only made half the quantity of the cream filling and it was just enough for the 15 eclairs.I also made a choc glaze instead of an icing using milk, chocolate, a tablespoon of butter and heaped tablespoon of icing sugar to sweeten lightly. We're waffling them down!Thanks

This was a perfect recipe! It's easy to follow. I used bitter baking chocolate instaed of the semisweet to help cut down the over sweetness of the eclairs. I also used whipped topping instead of the cream. Turned out excellent.

These were awesome. Very easy to make, and tasted great. I would have liked for the crust to be a little sweeter, but thats about it. I added some powdered sugar on it and it tasted even better after tham. My family loved it!

This is the same recipe that is in my Better Homes and Garden Recipe Book and it works every time! My suggestions: - Just bake at 400 for about 30 minutes, or goden brown and dry. - For the filling, use white chocolate instant pudding and Cool Whip and use pastry bag with long tip to fill rather than cutting off the tips. - For the chocolate glaze, Mix 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 cup sugar in sauce pan. Add 1 teasp vanilla, 1 stick butter, 1/4 cup milk. Boil for 1 minute, then set aside to cool. Dip the tops in the glaze, yummy!
