This is from back in September, but it’s worth revisiting. CBC did a feature where they revealed the recipe for our Paris Brest:

If you are standing in line to order, would you be embarrassed to say “I’d like a Paris Brest, please?” That’s the current theory amongst the staff at Duchess Bakeshop on why no one orders it. “It’s the staff favourite, but almost no one order it” says Giselle Courteau, Duchess co-owner. Despite my countless visits to Duchess, I, too, had never ordered it, but only because it looked like a donut. I was very wrong.

Get the recipe here.
