Tight But Poofy Dresses

Middle East revisited


In the book The Cambridge of Desserts by Pierre Hermé, they appear round and fully closed abundantly covered with icing sugar. Their shape is different than the picture of the book, and I'm proud particulèrement draped little effect (it's not difficult to achieve). They are flavored with orange flower water and filled with dry fruits (almonds, walnuts ...). Delicious!
