The popularity of eclairs has not waned after millennia. This simple dessert has become a benchmark of French cuisine. The history of this dessert began in the XVI century, when the pastry chef of the Medici family created a custard
. However, it was impossible to serve just cream as a dessert, because the dish did not look presentable. Therefore, the confectioner hid the cream in a thin sweet pastry.
The first appearance of eclairs on the tables of the nobility created a furor. All the gentlemen asked their pastry chefs to reproduce exactly the same eclairs. But, no one but the original creator could not make an exact copy of eclairs.
