Wheel Puffs
Overview
Paris-Brest wheel puff is a pastry originating from France. It was inspired by the Paris-Brest-Paris cycling race. To commemorate this race, the pastry chef made this shape that looks like a bicycle tire, hence the name. In fact, I have wanted to make this wheel puff for a long time, but it is said that making puffs is difficult, so I have never dared to start. I suddenly became interested today, so I prepared the ingredients and prepared myself for failure. Haha, but in the end I succeeded once and for all. It was really exciting.
