A Bakewell tart is an English confection consisting of a shortcrust pastry shell with a  layers of jam, and top with frangipane.  Baked off to a golden brown and topped is powder sugar.  It is a variant of the Bakewell pudding, closely associated with the town of Bakewell in Derbyshire.

​

The tart can be made with a variety of jams or compotes.  I like the seedless black raspberry, but I also like to change it up with whatever fruit is in season.

No explanation here.  Everyone loves a good buttery flakey croissant!

​

These are so light and so flakey.  There is absolutely not substitute for a homemade croissant. When making these wonderful little pastries, the dough is folder with butter between the layers, this process is called laminating the dough.  It's folded and rolled out and then this process is repeated 4 times before they are baked.  This what gives their many layers of deliciousness.

The éclair originated during the nineteenth century in France where it was called "pain à la Duchesse" or "petite duchesse" until 1850. The word is first attested both in English and in French in the 1860s.  Some food historians speculate that éclairs were first made by Antonin Carême (1784–1833), the famous French chef.  The first known English-language recipe for éclairs appears in the Boston Cooking School Cook Book by Mrs. D.A. Lincoln, published in 1884.

Kougin-amann (pronounced [ˌkwiɲ aˈmãn]; pl. kouignoù-amann) is a Breton cake.  The name comes from the Breton language word for cake (kouign) and butter (amann). It is a round multi-layered cake, originally made with bread dough containing layers of butter and sugar folded in, similar in fashion to puff pastry albeit with fewer layers. The cake is slowly baked until the butter puffs up the dough (creating the layers) and the sugar becomes caramelized. The result is similar to a muffin-shaped, caramelized croissant.

​

Kouign-amann is a specialty of the town of Douarnenez in Finistère, Brittany, where it originated around 1860.
