No. An eclair is not a doughnut.

And the word is "crullers", and the ones I made were pumped out of the
cake donut machine with a special cruller piston which had slots and
rotated as the dough was dropped. Very cool! But we just called 'em
French Donuts, not crullers. To my understanding crullers are
something entirely different.
