Eclairs
I can’t tell you why exactly this kind of pastry’s called “love bones” in Germany. Maybe it’s because of their sweet filling. In any case they’re a perfect surprise for your beloved on Valentine’s Day, specially when they are filled with crimson raspberries. As already mentioned with the recipe for profiteroles you may use convenience pastry if you’re not that skilled in baking.
For the eclairs follow the instructions on the sachet and for the filling read my recipe card. You’ll find some ideas for serving in the gallery. You may serve them for teatime but as a dessert for a Valentine’s dinner as well.
