Love the vanilla/madarin combo. Gee that flu is doing the dirty around Melbourne this winter. Nasty stuff. I hope your folks have pulled through OK. Nice one Duncan! Love the vanilla/madarin combo.

Mine aren't sweet-tooth people at all (what happened to me, eh!?). Love that eclair tin by the way - I've never seen one before. Do you think they made a difference to the end product?

I never knew that there was such a thing as an eclair pan! Great choice of filling flavour, too! Your eclairs look wonderful, Duncan. I never knew that there was such a thing as an eclair pan!

The tin is very cute. One of my recipes says not to worry about greasing and flouring a tray if you're making small éclairs. Uhuh. No. Very glad I had greased and floured, Manggy! Mandarin is such a lovely, underutilised flavour. Works marvellously in cream, custard and macaron shells! Elra, my parents often get the 'over-run' from my baking, cos there's only so much I can eat;) Thanks everyone! The tin is very cute.

The mandarin/vanilla combo sounds really interesting. I was just thinking about how mandarins would work in any recipes as I had picked three big bag fulls from my aunties house. The worse thing that can happen to choux pastry is premature deflation. :-) Great looking eclairs Duncan. The mandarin/vanilla combo sounds really interesting.

I liked the idea of mandarin. I guess I got lucky 'cos I ended up piping pretty small eclairs. I wish I had a pan like that for mine. I liked the idea of mandarin.

I like the look of your pâte à choux & Rosa's chocolate glaze sprinkled with red sugar. Impatience is caused by stress & cured with chocolate!

I hope your delicious eclairs perked them right up! I had never even heard of a pate a choux tin! It looks snazzy! (The VERY first time I made eclairs, though, I overestimated my nonstick sheets, and the bottoms stuck. Disaster.) Sorry to hear about your parents.
