Almond Praline: The Most Underrated Éclair on the Case

Praline is sugar cooked with almonds until it's the color of a dark penny, then ground. It tastes like toffee with the seriousness of a roasted nut.
We fold it into pastry cream, top with slivered almonds, dust with powdered sugar. No fondant, we want the nut to read first.
If you grew up around French bakeries, this is the one that will feel most like home.
