Thank you 😊
Not the best version of this. Much more complex and time consuming ….ughh
I have 9 months to practice this for Valentine's day.
I can't think of anybody I like enough to make this for.
Wow! This is a Saturday project the kids can help with!
I counted. There’s approximately 1 BILLION calories in that thing 😂😂
Holy WOW. Not something you whip up in 20 minutes.
I counted 5 eggs in the pate Chou
Just lovely! 💕
I know it wouldn't look as spectacular, but couldn't this be done as eclairs? I think I'm going to try that.
I think this is the fanciest recipe you've done since He Who Cannot Be Named left. Great job, and I need to pick my jaw up off the floor.
Oh come on you guys. It sounds like “pair-ee bray” I love this show but that was embarrassing.
We find this in any bakery here in France and I had no idea how hard it is to make it. Great job!!
i know i give you guys a hard time but i truly love this channel. it's the best cooking show of all time
Anyone up for pudding skin singles?
French desserts, absolutely perfect in every way. Just the right amount of sweetness balanced with pastry, butter, cream. They look amazing, taste amazing and are a complete pain in the butt to make 😀 (worth it, but you will curse a couple of times lol)
Just saying hello and looking so yummy aswell Mmm
I see two dishes on the screen that have the ingredients. 🙂
Great job ladies. I come from a family off French patissiers!!
I made Paris-Brest a few years ago with a friend. I'm not a professional baker, so with all the stirring, beating, and whipping it was nice to trade off with him to give my arm a rest now and then. We made two complete Paris-Brest at the same time. This is an absolutely delicious dessert.
I want the pudding skin (12:00). It's my favorite part.
EXELENTES RECETAS HUNICAS 100% BUENISIMAS GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR SALUDOS DE MICHOACAN MEXICO 🇲🇽.
If I ever see it on a menu at a top restaurant, I'm totally trying this. Looks amazing.
This is the most comedically complicated recipe I've watched.
looks interesting, but there is no chance i'll try to make it. way too fidgety – even for a special occasion.
Serves 6-8 people? Am I the only one who thinks it’s barely enough for me? Thanks for this gorgeous recipe. Will definitely try it.
Nice looking dessert but a lot of work.
Wow that took forever. I dont have the patience to prepare that but would like to try it. Thank YOU ATK, ladies.
Amazing that someone can create such a recipe with what seems like a 100 different steps/techniques.
Looks delicious but not something I'd ever make, so many steps :')
You posted this video like a month or so ago…. how about some new content. This channel keeps doing this.
Merci bucco!
I had it in France last summer, one of the best pastries I've ever tasted 🙂
This is a winner.
😷😷🇺🇸🗽👩🦳👩🦳🍾🔥🔥👍🙌🖖🚨🥳🥂🍸🍸🙌🙌🧠👙
Yet another reason, old men find plump women so sexy.
WOW
I made one of these 50 years ago, but had forgotten about it. After watching this, may have to do it again.
