Eclairs
Can I freeze eclairs shell, defrost and fill it as required?? If yes, should I bake them again after defrosting?

Yes, you can defrost the unfilled choux pastries, then crisp them up in the oven again. You can also make the choux paste, put it into a piping bag, seal it and leave it in the fridge overnight, to pipe and bake on the day of serving.

Hi, @sanam-ameen
Yes, you can freeze the ready-made eclairs. As a recommendation, so that they do not dry out due to the cold in the freezer, you should cover each one with plastic wrap and then store them in an airtight container. You also have the option of freezing the raw dough already molded in a tray and the next day you can bake. To be able to consume the baked eclairs, just leave them in the refrigerator for a few hours and then at room temperature for a few more minutes. To heat it up you can put them in the oven at 165°C for about 8 to 12 minutes. Then you can fill them with the cream or filling that you like the most.
