Eclair, France
These lengthy pastries with an enticing covering, a crisp texture, a delectable soft interior, as well as a sweet, creamy centre originated in France at the turn of the century. The majority of food historians believe these pastries were created by Marie-Antoine Careme, a well-known French culinary specialist. Eclairs (lightning in French) are thought to have gained their name from the way light reflected off them after a coating of confectioner's coating was applied.
