Pâtisserie Millet



Experience the real thing! I did for the first time today. My favourite French pâtisserie has always been the Flan. It tends to be pretty ‘industrial’ anywhere even in the nice cake shops with a filling that looks more like a custardy jelly than something else. But the real thing was hidden in this shop on Rue Saint Dominique in Paris. The traditional ‘Flan Pâtissier’, as its name indicates, is filled with a thick ‘Crème pâtissiere’ made out of milk, corn starch, sugar, vanilla and milk. It melts in your mouth, teases your tastebuds and the crust… Yummy… The crust has to be the most perfectly cooked I ever had.
