Clue: Sweet English girl (6)
Answer: ECLAIR
Explanation: Definition: Sweet
A charade of E ('English') plus CLAIR ('girl'). I think dodgy on two counts: the girl's name is generally Claire, and although an eclair is sweet in the sense of sugared, I would think of it as more of a tea-time item than a sweet as dessert (unlike its close relative, the profiterole).
