Pastry puffs

Overview

Legend has it that puffs were born accidentally. This Italian dessert was introduced to France in the 16th century and gradually took on a festive meaning. The puff pastry is an extension. It always seems to be related to sweetness and happiness. The taste of hot on the outside and cold on the inside, crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside makes people enjoy a double experience. The puff pastry is wrapped with a layer of fine sand on the surface, which makes the taste more subtle and rich. When you take the first bite, the sweet and rich filling splashes in your mouth and slowly melts on the tip of your tongue. The wonderful milky aroma and frosting can't help but make your mind wander. Among all Western desserts, puff pastry should be one of the desserts you can’t miss.
