The Saint-honoré is a delicious French dessert consisting of a crispy shortcrust pastry base, cream puffs filled with Chantilly cream, and a caramel glaze on the surface. This dessert was created in honor of Saint Honoré, the patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs.
Prepare a firm dough by mixing the flour, 2 egg yolks, melted butter, a tablespoon of sugar, and 1 or 2 tablespoons of lightly salted water
Wrap it into a ball and place it in a damp cloth for a couple of hours
Then roll it out and cut out a circle
Place it on a greased baking sheet and prick it
Put it in the hot oven and let it brown (25 minutes at 200 degrees)
When it is cooked, carefully transfer it to a circular baking dish and set it aside
Caramelize the sugar by heating it over moderate heat with 2 or 3 tablespoons of water
Dip the cream puffs one by one and immediately stick them on the edge of the golden pastry disc
Prepare a custard by thickening the milk over moderate heat with the remaining 4 egg yolks beaten with powdered sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla
Once thick, incorporate the soaked gelatin and beaten egg whites into the cream
Pour the cream into the cream puffs and briefly grill everything to brown
When the cake is golden
