Saint-Honoré

Saint-Honoré is a classic French pastry named after Saint Honoré, the patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs. It features a round pâte brisée or puff pastry base topped with a ring of choux pastry puffs. These puffs are filled with pastry cream or custard, and the entire dessert is often finished with a glossy caramel glaze and dusted with powdered sugar. The combination of crisp, soft, creamy, and sweet textures makes it a popular and elegant treat, highlighting skilled pastry craftsmanship and balanced flavors.
