Kouign amann

Andreatoo — Sun, 01 Aug 2021 18:51:09 GMT

Just a quick heads up because they were selling them; these are the best food item I've ever purchased from the Q! Delicate buttery pastry. A little crunch on the exterior with smooth and melty layers.
My combo consisted of guava and a pastry cream but blueberry sounds amazing!
Very balanced flavor and not overly sweet

All of these products are delicious BUT the way they ship them is just terrible...esp in areas that are hot this time of year...They come in a box with really no ice packs or they have been thawed out when you receive. I will not order until they change their shipping method or until it gets alot colder...other reviewers have also had issue with this ..Just my opinion....

They look good, but I don't have room in the freezer for them. It's really hot and humid here too.

Are these shipped frozen? Just wondering since I have not had much luck with frozen food in the summer. Thanks.

@CoffeeNut

I frequently make the mistake of watching the food shows hungry! Lol but unfortunately I'm disappointed more often than pleased with what I get.

These were a wonderful surprise

To be fair nothing has been inedible just not "restaurant quality" and the prices are not so cheap!

@GinaBo

It was about six months ago and I thought they came frozen but the representative seems to imply otherwise. They definitely ended up in the freezer. I do a quick thaw in the microwave if I don't remember to take one out and then it goes in the oven for about six minutes.

I just discovered that there is a bakery here in Miami that actually makes them! I will have to go there for breakfast one weekend

Compelling recommendation! If only you provided an item number. I keep trying to type in that odd spelling and I haven't gotten it right even once. I can't find the item.

@Andreatoo I saw the presentation yesterday and I was tempted but didn't order. I had never heard of these before so looked for recipes. There is a YouTube video I found by "Chef John" and he shows how to make them. They take a long time to make, but look so decadent!

Have bought the combo 3 times so far and have given as a present . They are delicious and go well served with goat cheese to spread on them . Easy to make in a Cuisinart oven that has a bake cycle or toaster oven. I freeze these on arrival as they are not frozen . Then I take out as many as I am going to serve and place in the Cusinart air fryer oven on the Bake cycle at 300 degrees . Toast only till brown & crisp, otherwise you burn off alot of the carmel they dip them in . For more rapid cooking you can cut in half halfway through cooking cycle to speed process up .

Just watched the video (choc hazelnut is calling my name) and they are not shipped frozen. The recommendation is to take out what you need for a couple of days and freeze the rest on arrival.

They can be kept in the freezer for up to a year. They can be heated in the microwave. You won't get the outside crunch, but will still be tasty. Air fryer, or oven is best.

@skatting44

Aren't they amazing?! I haven't tried the blueberry but they sound wonderful

BTW There is no Caramell on top only caramelization which occurs when the sugar sprinkled on top, is baked .

I find myself peeling it layer by layer! Lol

I noticed there were other flavors offered yesterday. They were at a slightly higher price and had an option for holiday ship dates.

I looked up a recipe to make these, it's a bread dough yeast based pastry.

As soon as the weather cools a little, I'll put these on my list. Doesn't appear to cost a lot to make these other than time.

@Mistreatedbycs

Breads and pastries are always best homemade. Good luck with that!

I wouldn't order anything not frozen until cold weather. Even if it is packed in ice.

I do know and have bought salmon from Alaska and it has come in the hottest weather, still frozen and still in frozen packs in a cooler. But other than that, and I have ordered from them many years, I wouldn't risk some other supplier.
