Earl Grey Eclair

Cultural Context

The eclair, a classic French pastry, has been enjoyed since the 19th century. Traditionally filled with cream and topped with chocolate, the eclair has evolved into various flavors and fillings, reflecting modern culinary creativity. The Earl Grey eclair combines the rich tradition of French patisserie with the aromatic notes of bergamot from Earl Grey tea, making it a delightful treat for tea lovers and a sophisticated dessert option for special occasions.

heavy cream

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

5

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

Pipe 4-inch lengths onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.

7

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed; do not open the oven door during baking.

8

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

9

In a separate saucepan, heat heavy cream and steep Earl Grey tea leaves for 10 minutes; strain and cool.

10

Whip the infused cream until soft peaks form, then fold in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.

11

Slice the cooled eclairs in half lengthwise and fill with the Earl Grey cream mixture.
