"Paris-Brest is a ring-shaped pastry, filled with cream and sprinkled with almonds and powdered sugar. It was created in 1891 by a Parisian pastry cook whose pâtisserie was situated along the route of the bicycle race from Paris to Brest. His idea was to bake his éclairs in the shape of bicycle wheels in honor of all the cyclists. Great marketing idea! This race was a precursor to the Tour de France which was started in 1903." http://frenchfood.about.com/library/weekly/aa070402a.htmAnd now a picture of the gateau!
This makes me really hungry... Even if I have just made myself a big glass of red berries, banana and yoghurt smoothie. I have not tasted this gateau for... dunno... not far from 10 years!Maybe I should make one.
I don't know how good the recipe of the above-mentioned website is. If somebody tries it, please let me know!
