Sometimes the leftover rejects are just the perfect treat for the baker, Carol! It could work to allow one tray of eclairs to rest in the fridge while the other bakes or to simply cut the recipe in half and only make one tray. If you found that the bottom of your shells were almost concave, this could also be the result of not slitting the shells and returning them to the oven to finish baking quickly enough. Without the slit/vent, the steam trapped inside can distort the shape, something we have definitely learned the hard way ourselves. Hope this helps! Mollie@KAF
