Could you not just use gluten free flour with a standard recipe?(Sorry don't know much about gluten free).

Hmm, a friend tried to make these gluten free but just couldn't get them to work.Unfortunately what gives the eclairs the puff is in part a result of the action the gluten, so it just doesn't really work with gluten free alternatives. However if anyone wiser can provide some alternative, I for one would lap them up :)
