Traditionally they are filled with pastry cream but because it’s summer I decided to fill them with some simple vanilla buttercream frosting and raspberry jam to make them more portable and picnic friendly. This version is once again inspired by another popular Vachon snack cake that I ate as a kid.
Makes 8 pastries but these are quite rich so I most often cut 16 squares out of them and serve them at that size.
