Délicieuse!
Why does it seem that the pastries in Paris are truly as delicious as they look? Which is not always true closer to home. We have often consulted with French friends to see if perhaps the lightness of the pastries had to do with some ingredient that was different in France. We have conjectured everything from the water to the butter as a possibility for the special touch. I would certainly love to know the answer. Until then, maybe I will be content with less temptation at home.
This particular tart is from Gérard Mulot whose delicacies we discussed in an earlier blog. But the choices of pâtisseries around Paris are mind-boggling. It seems one can hardly walk down a street without viewing a beautiful assortment lusciously displayed. Certainly, that is another reason to start planning our summer visit!
