Well after two attempts I managed to get quite a few that passed as rough mini eclairs and a lot of misshapen ones that I gave away filled with cream and smothered in chocolate. The mini ones were quite diddly but everyone loved them. I also filled a few with Teninas lemon curd which disappeared first.

I can just imagine how lovely these were.

My first attempt, went well.  Need more practice to do the filling neatly.  Photo is before the filling.

Looks like this is a winner.  Will have to try it out.  Can anyone tell me the best way to store the cooked Choux pastry?  and how many days it may last.

Thanks

keiramax I've kept the unfilled pastries for up to a week in a sealed container. You can crsip them up again in the oven for a few minutes in the oven if needed. I'm sure you could freeze them but I never have.

Thanks Wonder, I have a few parties leading up to christmas and thought this might be good.  I can make a big batch and then just fill what I need on the day.  Will also experiment with freezing and see how they go.
