Céline Legros, a French business lawyer-turned- New York Baker, has introduced a line of French style mini pastries. Using an old family recipe as her foundation, Céline adds her own unique twist.
Originally, from South West of France Canelés , these delicious treats are made of crepe batter and slowly cooked at very high temperatures, which causes the outsides to become caramelized and the inside to stay deliciously moist. Flavors include vanilla, orange, lemon, lime and rum.
Finaciers are small mini French almond teacakes, similar to a sponge cake, usually contains some type of almonds, if it’s crushed, sliced or flavoring. These small cakes are light, moist and normally molded in a rectangle pan.
