Made by the Pastry Chef Sol Arceo
As you imagine, the lunettes recipe was created in France. Lunette means glasses, because of the resemblance of these pastries to traditional round glasses. You can also fill your lunettes with a thickened lemon curd, with chocolate cream or with dulce de leche (if you can get it in your area). They are exquisite in all their variations!
