Le Marais Meyer Lemon Kouign Amann, Set of 12
Summary
Brighten any day with these sunny lemon pastries from San Francisco's legendary Le Marais Bakery. An unforgettable dessert or brunch treat, these luxurious pastries are a delectable riff on the classic French kouign amann – a Breton specialty whose name means "butter cake." They're handcrafted from layers of sweet, buttery viennoiserie dough that bake into crisp, flaky, golden cakes resembling a deliciously caramelized croissant. Inside, you'll find a rich, creamy filling that blends sweet vanilla buttercream with a tangy Meyer lemon jam. As easy to prepare as they are delicious, the pastries arrive frozen, ready to bake and serve warm from the oven.
- 12 pastries. (2 lb. 2 oz. total)
- Shipped frozen.
- To prepare, let frozen pastries thaw for 8 hours, brush with egg wash and bake (see Use & Care for preparation details).
