An éclair is a type of pastry that is long and thin and is mostly served for dessert.
It is made from specific pastry known as the choux pastry and this is just a light dough that contain just a few of the normal ingredients which include items like flour, eggs and also sugar.
After baking, this particular pastry will have a crisp and hollow finish.
When the cooling process ends it will come to the part where it gets sweet as the particular cream you choose to use is piped onto the pastry and dipped into chocolate.
As you can see, from the above information it is a very sweet treat that is also long in length.
But these treats are not designed for everyone especially for people who are diabetic as the sugar levels are too high.
Not to mention the fact that sugar in the pastry is not recommended for diabetics because this could eventually lead to other serious health condition or even death.
In this present day there are bakers who have diabetic friendly éclairs with just a few slight changes in the ingredients, the first main ingredient as a sweetener is Xylitol and this is special type of alcohol sugar that brings sweet flavors to the éclairs but the content of sugar is less.
As a result of baking it this way, you can enjoy a treat like the éclair pastry like a normal person, and the next good thing about these éclair pastries is that they are also made with whole wheat flour.
