40 by 40 #33: Eat a Kouing Aman from Les Madeleines

While this was also over 2 years ago, it was a glorious day worth remembering. I had heard so many tales of the Kouing Aman, a flaky Breton pastry not commonly found in bakeries and patisseries. It was even featured on The Great British Baking Show, which only increased my desire to sample this confection. Lucky for me, Les Madeleines, a bakery in downtown SLC, bakes them on the daily. I popped on over with some friends during a delightful afternoon downtown (back when we could have delightful afternoons with friends downtown...).

Friends. This pastry absolutely lived up to every bit of hype I have heard about it. It was flaky, oh so flaky, with oodles of delicious buttery layers. It was sweet but not too sweet, with a delightful crunch. Oh, it was good. If you find yourself in the neighborhood of 500 S and 200 E, definitely stop by Les Madeleines and get one for yourself. In fact, buy a second one for me. I'll venmo you.
