Some will tell you that the only true pastry chef flan is the Parisian flan! It is recognized by its shortcrust pastry base supporting a light yellow layer covered by a browned top from baking. Its elasticity and freshness on the palate with the good taste of vanilla milk remind us of childhood, the simple pleasures of life. Paris, like many other dishes, has mastered a proven recipe to make it a culinary masterpiece, no matter how simple it is!
