Eclairs

What do you do on a brilliantly clear Sunday? Make eclairs, and eat them at the beach, of course. Keira and I spent a couple of hours 'making stuff' over the weekend, the eclairs were all her idea (really) but they were fun to make, and delicious of course. We made quite small pastries, then the kids walked down to the shop for cream, and we melted a bit of dark chocolate for the top. Packed them into a big biscuit tin and ate them while sitting on a giant piece of driftwood and digging our feet into the sand. 

The (very simple) recipe Keira and I used was from the Edmond's cookbook, but this one is similar.

I've linked to this before, but I've just rediscovered (and still love it): 4 sisters take their photo every year for 36 years.

    I love that photo journal as well. I have spent long moments wondering what is behind their facial and body expressions, also just appreciating seeing the aging process so purely. They are beautiful.

    Eclairs are the new cupcakes! They were making them on Great British Bake Off the other night so it must be true!

    I don’t think I’ve ever even tried an eclair before! They look great, though.

    Your post takes me back to when I was a kid, my brother and I would go down to the Hataitai shops to pick up bits and pieces Nan needed in the kitchen. It’s so cool to see the house again through your pictures!
