Petit-chou is a type of pastry, usually filled with vanilla cream or cream. The dough is made from wheat flour, eggs, butter, milk and water. An oblong petit-chou, often with icing, is called éclair.

In Indonesia we call it Kue Sus isi Vla. There is one place in Bandung (Kue Sus Merdeka) they recreate the Kue Sus Vla filling with Butter and Rhum, which is so delicious too. I am going to show you how to make these delicious snack for your afternoon tea or coffee
