St Joseph Day Pastry

I love those things!

My cousin owns several bakeries and brought some over today.....and I ate a whole one!! OMG....to die for! This one had cannoli filling.

How many calories do you think there is in one? I just did a search and I'm guessing about 150 calories.

It was worth it!!

Tomorrow? Back on track! :-)

The SJD pastries at our Italian are big. They have both custard filled and cannoli cream filled. I'm betting they are more like 300 calories.

It's basically just cream puff batter piped with a large star tip then filled with either custard or cannoli filling - I love both.
