Method

Sift the flour onto parchment and heat milk, salt, sugar, butter, and 80ml water in a pan.

Add flour to the boiling liquid and beat vigorously until a dough forms, then cook for 5 minutes.

Cool slightly, beat in eggs gradually until glossy, and pipe four rings onto the parchment circles.

Brush the rings with egg wash and sprinkle with flaked almonds.

Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking sheet with parchment marked with four 10cm circles.

Bake at 220°C for 15 minutes, then at 180°C for 10 minutes, slice horizontally, and dry in oven for 4 minutes.

Melt caster sugar into caramel, coat hazelnuts, cool on a silicone mat, and process into fine dust.

Whip double cream with vanilla seeds until soft peaks form and place in a star-nozzle piping bag.

Layer praline and cream inside the rings, replace the lids, dust with icing sugar, and serve.
