Puff Pastry Turnovers
When they say context is everything, it’s really true. The word chaussons means slippers in French, but it’s also the name given to puff pastry turnovers. Strange, right? That’s why you’ll usually hear the dessert version of the word followed by whatever fruit it’s been made with. Usually, that’s chaussons aux pommes (apple turnovers), or in this case aux fraises (strawberries). With the abundance of farm-fresh, aromatic, sweet strawberries, I can think of nothing better than using them in delectable puff pastry turnovers like this.
Easy Chocolate Eclair Recipe
Cream puffs and eclairs, these are quite possibly some of France’s most popular pastries, excluding the macaron, of course. Unlike the crisp macaron cookie, cream puffs and eclairs are pillow-y and soft. I like to think of them as pastry clouds because they truly taste like a dream. And since today is my birthday, I think I deserve a dreamy, indulgent dessert.
