  • kml9876 : You're welcome.
  • anonymous : OK, I think cream puff base is the same. And thank you for posting that. for the eclairs, form them into 12 fingers with lots of room to grow about ' 1" by 6" ...<- that was memory, found another recipe it says "1.5 x 4". its at: http://www.foodlve.com/food/how-to-make-chocolate-eclairs-1327
  • anonymous : I used the eclair recipe for years, from my sisters magazine, and used vanilla pudding as the filler, now I can't find my recipe card. AND ITS NEEDED!
  • kml9876 : Thank you. You're welcome.
  • anonymous : Well, they are adorable! I love your recipes and I can't wait to try. Thanks so much!
  • kml9876 : No it was not from Seventeen. It is in a cook book that I own.
  • anonymous : Thanks for checking for the eclair recipe! Was the swan cream puff from Seventeen? I am so curious! I collect old Seventeen magazine recipes and would love to know!
  • kml9876 : I can't find an eclair recipe.
  • anonymous : Great recipe! Which magazine is it from? Is it from Seventeen? I'd love the eclair recipe, please!
  • kml9876 : I will check to see if I have the eclair recipe.
  • anonymous : I made these for the first time when I was 17, which was, well, almost 30 years ago. I lost part of the recipe (had torn it out of the magazine and it was wrinkled and torn as could be from repeated use), so I had to make do with other recipes. SO HAPPY to find the full recipe again. These truly are the BEST cream puffs ever! BIG QUESTION: This recipe was originally printed with a recipe for eclairs and the eclair filling recipe was also the BEST I've ever tasted. Does anyone have the recipe? If so, please print it. IT IS SO GOOD!!!
