Recipe: Saint Honoré
Recipe from Saint Honoré I have already been asked to tackle this masterpiece of pastry for a while. As good as it is beautiful, I took great pleasure in preparing and tasting it, thinking of bringing the base so that it is waterproof, this will allow the puff pastry to remain crisp. Be careful with the fingers with the hot caramel, I remember a few scorching tests, but this caramel is so good… Today the Saint Honoré comes in many variations and even in an individual version.
