Wheyhey's Gluten Free Salted Caramel Eclairs

When you think of pastries, a classic eclair is something that immediately springs to mind. A soft doughy pastry filled with cream and topped with chocolate sauce. There is a whole lot to love about eclairs and they are an old favourite for many people. They're the delicious treats that are rarely made at home but always seem to make an appearance on the big occasions. The trips to the fancy restaurant, family parties and weddings.

Eclairs are definitely nostalgia boosting and something we would like in our lives a little more. Now with another one of our gluten free recipes we have a healthy alternative to a classic endulgent. We've got a feeling eclairs are going to reappear into our lives in a big way.
