Eclairs & Cream Puffs with Jean-Yves Duperret
November 27, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
The word comes from French éclair ‘flash of lightning’, so named because it is eaten quickly (in a flash). In this 3 hour class, MOF pastry chef Jean-Yves Duperret will guide you through how to create one of the most classic French pastries. This course will cover:
- Theory of the choux dough
- Preparation of the ‘pate a choux’
- Cooking of the pastry creams
- Piping & baking techniques
- Filling & glazing – Vanilla, Chocolate, Hazelnut, Fresh Fruit & Citrus among others!
Because choux dough is so versatile, we will also make the iconic Cream Puffs using the same dough. At the end of the course, if you haven’t enjoyed your creations on the spot, you may take them with you.
