Chocolate Eclairs and Petite Cream Puffs

elcairs is kinda like a long custard filled french doughnut.

Since it is soft and sweet, it's both mom and my grandma's favorite dessert.

For Thais, we have an image of eclair like a mini cream puffs so I've done both since the ingredients are exactly the same.(apart from chocolate on the topping)
