About

After you have made this delectable dessert, you will be able to make cream puffs or éclairs because the basic pastry is the same. The eggy paste will puff up late in the baking and fall when it is removed from the oven, making an inner layer like custard. The sweet frosting flows into the nooks and crannies of the pastry, and adds a sweet finish.
