Can you believe it is January 15th already?! Looks like 2014 is off to a fast start...
January is usually the time when people make resolutions and plans for the new year and at La Petite France we are no different. We have lots of great new ideas, events and of course food items for you to try and we recently debuted one of those new food items to great success: the cronut!
The cronut is a hybrid between a croissant and a donut and is sugared, glazed, and filled with cream. The name cronut was trademarked by French pastry chef Dominique Ansel of Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York City. This hybrid pastry goes by a few different names like: cronut, crodo, dosants, and frissant, but the basic recipe is the same.
The cronut was introduced in New York City last year by chef Ansel and was an instant success, with many people getting up at the crack of dawn and standing in long lines just to get one and the demand is still going strong.
La Petite France is happy to bring a version of the cronut right here to West Hartford and we offer them filled with raspberry or vanilla cream at $4.95 each. Come and get yours while supplies last!
