Feeling Gourmet? Treat Yourself To Some Choux Au Craquelin From These 13 Local Home Bakers

Crispy French cream puffs.

If you're craving a fancy dessert, you might like to try this classic French delicacy

Choux au Craquelin is a crispy French cream puff made with choux pastry that's topped with a thin crunchy biscuit crust called 'craquelin' (pronounced 'kra-ke-lan'). It comes from the French verb craquer (or craqueler), which means 'to crack'.

Craquelin consists of a combination of three ingredients - butter, sugar, and flour, and is just like pie pastry. However, during baking, it forms a sweet and delightfully crackly crust that envelops the cream puff beneath. The result? A delectable pastry that's crispy on the outside, and creamy on the inside.

We've put together a list of Instagram bakers selling this delicious French cream puff:
