The rich milky fragrance of the puffs can always make people feel happiness and warmth……
We remember puffs as yellow-brown balls filled with cream, but in fact there are more than just puffs. Let’s talk about it today.
Although puffs are considered a classic French dessert, they are actually the birthplace of orthodoxy in Italy. Catherine de’ Medici married in France, and fearing that she would not be able to adapt to French tastes, brought with her a group of Italian chefs, one of whom made the first puffs……
But it wasn’t until the 18th century, when a pastry chef named Avice continued to build on the original foundation, that the puffs took on a form closer to what they are today. During the evolution, there were more varieties of puffs, and the most popular was the long lightning puff.
