Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I had never tasted this before, but it was requested by a friend for a birthday, and in all my books this was the only recipe I found for it. I recommend reading the recipe several times to familiarize yourself; "not difficult to make, since, like a bicycle race, it's done in stages" seemed an impossible line but turned out to be true. Note that it also calls for recipes for cream puff dough and vanilla pastry cream (pages 502 and 505 respectively) whose ingredients are not included in this EYB summary page. I underbaked the dough ring, something I didn't realize till too late, and had to redo it--go for the longest bake you can without burning. Other than that, straightforward, especially as I'd made the vanilla cream and praline powder the day before. A dusting of powdered sugar, which I often ignore in recipes, here perfectly covered all my assembly faults, and my French friends said it tasted just as they remembered it. Success!
