6 Pain aux Raisins

The cream-to-pastry ratio is spot on, and the raisins are plump and juicy throughout. Each one heats up beautifully in the oven for a few minutes, making them taste bakery-fresh. My family polished off the whole box in one weekend.

I ordered these for a brunch meeting and the flaky layers held up beautifully even after reheating in the oven. The pastry cream inside is just the right amount of sweetness to balance the juicy raisins.

Brought these to a work breakfast and they vanished before the coffee did. The flaky layers actually shatter a little when you bite in, and the raisins are plump rather than dry. Six feels like the right count for sharing, though I regretted not ordering two packs.
