Bakery run cont'd

     I think I scowled a little.  Said something to the effect of I doubt it.  Asked if they had rolls and doughnuts.  I cheered up immensely when she said yes.

     The other customer on his way out asked why I asked that.  I told him about the other place.  Small world, he'd just been there.  That's what drove him here.

     Got the usual for the kiddies, couple rolls, couple doughnuts.  And then I saw the sign.  "Cronuts"  I'd actually seen them on the news.

     Essentially it is a croissant type doughnut, deep fried, frosted and has a filling.  I didn't see the cannoli filled one so I opted for the custard.

     The pastry itself, larger than my hand with all my fingers apart.  Felt heavy.  I will say that the dough was incredibly light, like a croissant.  I was expecting it to be a very heavy thing.  The frosting was nice, not granulated at all, like some cheap bakeries do with the frostings.  The custard....was very good.....in 6 months if it's still around I'll try the cannoli.

     I was amazed how light it was and filling, but not in the heavy sense.  In fact it took the place of breakfast for me.  Of the experience I will say that I could probably do without the frosting and filling.  I think this would make an excellent crouller.  

     I did enjoy it muchly.  Thankfully next Sunday my bakery will be back.  I shall have a hot cup of coffee with my chocolate danish heated for 11 seconds in the microwave.  Oh that will be delicious.

-later.
