Day 16: Gateau Saint Honore, Gougere

Oh Gateau! So apparently, Saint Honore is the patron saint of pastry chefs! I went over to the Saint Francis of Assisi Church Bookstore to see if I could find a Saint Honore medal, but I guess he's not that popular... At least we have this wonderful Gateau (pronounced ga-tow with the accent on the tow part) to commemorate our saint! This was made with a Pate a Choux base and as you can see from the pictures, caramel topped cream puffs! The filling for both the puffs and the center was a wonderfully delicious Chiboust. A chiboust is a combo of pastry cream, gelatin and Italian meringue.





























The Gougere was also yummy! It is basically a classy cheese puff!
