  I am watching this in Bretagne right now. I'm drooling.

  In Brittany, we serve it warm with a bit of cream

  &quot;Can we just take a moment to appreciate the genius that is Chef Lan? Her endless creativity never fails to amaze me. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/marvoulesmind">#MarvoulesMind</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/incredibletalent">#IncredibleTalent</a>&quot;

  Warning! &nbsp;If you use Kerrygold butter you must chill the pastry for 30 minutes before the second roll out and turn. &nbsp;The higher butterfat means it is more pliable and thus more prone to squishing out.

  That pre-folded envelope for the butter is something I&apos;ve never seen before, and I will surely incorporate it into my future laminated doughs. Thanks, Lan!

  This is my favorite pastry, though I have never seen it in cake form. Whenever I am lucky enough to see them sold, I buy a couple for us. Thank you for the recipe!

  Literally just found out about this version of Kouign Amann from King Arthur Flour. &nbsp;Get out of my head! 😂 Happy to have a video to go along with a recipe.

  Glad you&apos;re showcasing the classic KA. A lot of bakeries are selling Kouignettes but calling them KAs &nbsp;- KA dough stuffed in muffin tins. Doesn&apos;t come close to the magic that is the classic KA. Tasted this at the eponymous bakery in Montreal, Canada -- amazing in your mouth.
