Dariole

Ok, Dariole surprised me for it's originality, just line a mold with puff pastry, fill it with almond cream and bake until it's golden brown, genius.
This one is so popular, there's even a special mold for it, the Dariole mold.

Let's try it:

Kouign amann

The lovely Bretons brings us this interesting cake, layers of dough sugar and butter create some sort of combination between a cake and puff pastry.

Kouign means cake, and  amann means butter,  and with Kouign amann you get that in a delicious package.
