Mastering the French Éclair with Jim Dodge

September 22, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Join celebrated pastry chef and author Jim Dodge, as he shares four decade’s worth of experience and stories each month at the Artisan Baking Center.

Éclairs are one of the most versatile pastries. Once you have the choux pastry (pâte à choux) tubular shells made, they can be filled with a wide variety of fillings and glazes. The techniques you learn in this class will give you the confidence and skills to master stunning eclairs to please a crowd.

Class will begin with demonstrations and move into the hands-on part of the class where you will be making and piping the choux pastry. Then you will fill the shells, glaze the tops and add the embellishments. To maximize the hand-on portion of the class the ingredients will be pre-measured and tools distributed.
