Claire Saffitz Makes this Iconic French Pastry for the Holidays (Parisian Flan) | Dessert Person

During my time in France, I observed that this dish was a staple in every patisserie. Each bakery boasts its own version of this tart, known as Flan Parisian, Flan Pâtissier, or simply a custard tart. Regardless of the name, this pastry is one of my favorite treats to enjoy when I go back for a visit. I hope you give it a try this holiday season, as it stands out as one of the most delicious pastries you'll ever experience.
