This is my kids' favorite and it's a true Christmas dessert. Sprinkled with confectioners' sugar, it looks like Christmas is already here.

Praline Brioche
Par Laurie le 12 octobre 2016, 15:49
Melt-in-your-mouth brioche with pink pralines or raisins
This is the copycat version of the Praluline, a brioche created by a baker in Roanne, a Southern French town. He now has shops in Paris and other cities and each day, hundreds of these little wonders are shipped abroad as well.
This has always been my special treat to my mom and myself for Mother's Day, birthdays and even Christmases. I now make it myself.
It's made with pink pralines but is really good too with golden raisins drenched in warm water for 15 mn.
You can also double the quantity and freeze it. Cut slices in advance so you can thaw them individually for a yummy breakfast and warm them for a few minutes in your oven. The pralines will melt inside the brioche, making it heavenly.
Convinced? Let's do it!

Gâteau Creusois
Par Laurie le 05 septembre 2016, 17:41
This French cake is very simple to make and is great served with coffee or for breakfast. You can make it in a large mold for about 6 people or you can make individual cakes in muffin molds.
You can then freeze it and thaw it overnight in your fridge for breakfast or snacks.
You'll only need egg whites which is a great advantage when you don't want to waste when making curds, for instance.
The name of this cake comes from a region in France – Creuse – which is the center of France.
