Description

The pastry is easy and quick to prepare. Instead of chocolate glaze, you can simply dust the pastry halves with powdered sugar or dip them in jam and top with ground nuts. This treat is perfect for a festive table or just for tea with friends or family. Kids will love these "Bouche" pastries served with warm milk or cocoa. You can serve the pastries on a shared plate or individually, placing each one in a cupcake paper liner. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
