Holiday Gifts: Croissant for Santa from MyBoulangerie

By JULIETTE ROSSANT Recently, a serious question arrived from one of Super Chef's young readers: What kind of cookies does Santa Claus like? Considering that Papa Noel visits millions, if not billions, of children's homes every Christmas Eve, Super Chef thought he might like something a bit better than the standard Oreo or chocolate chip cookie. What about some warm croissants or petit pains au chocolat or a chausson aux pommes for Old Saint Nick? If you are spending Christmas in the countryside, far from any good French bakery, and there just aren't any good cookies at the market, wouldn't a buttery pastry be delicious after sliding down a sooty chimney or through a radiator grating? Kris Kringle would remove his gloves to enjoy every last flakey crumb? Super Chef thinks a sophisticated Santa would adore pastries from MyBoulangerie.com. The croissants rise to triple their size overnight, and bake up warm, fluffy and buttery. They taste great with a glass of cold milk, coffee or a morning café crème. Come to think of it…they taste great even every morning. The apple chausson are not too sweet, and the pains au chocolat have a generous piece of dark chocolate. Order a bag for your freezer or for your parent's freezer and start your morning like Santa, with superb French pastries. Sophie Lavigne's MyBoulangerie also makes superb Buche de Noel and Galette des Rois for the Christmas Season, but they must be ordered by December 3rd. The Galette, traditionally eaten to celebrate the Epiphany on January 6th, is filled a light marzipan within layers of pastry. Both the Buche de Noel and the Galette des Rois are marvelous ways to end of holiday meal and cheer Santa and all his helpers. Ho, ho, ho!
