Chocolate Eclairs

On Tuesday night, I got together with a couple of friends to watch  "Les Miserables". I had wanted to see it at the cinema, but didn't get round to it, so got it out on DVD instead.
Of course, I offered to bring something sweet along to our evening, and in keeping with the french theme, I made these chocolate eclairs.
These were delicious! Although choux pastry is not particularly straight forward, with my mixer it was so much easier. I think the hardest part is adding the egg slowly and mixing in between.
They were very satisfying to make, and I was especially pleased that they looked as good as Mary's ones in the book. I think mine were slightly bigger as I only made 10 instead of 12.
The kids and Ad all got to have one, and everyone agreed that they got a 9.75 score!
Les Mis, was very good, but tissues are a must!
