Tasting notes
Apple, damson plum, cinnamon
The carnival beignet, an indulgent Alsace tradition
The beignet — not to be confused with a bugne or angel wing doughnut — is a must-try speciality that appears each year for Mardi Gras. A tradition that you can find in the weeks leading up to Lent, the beignet embodies the final indulgences before the period of self-denial, forming part of a heritage that our Maison takes great care to honour.
An apple and damson plum centre, dusted with cinnamon
Our Apple & Damson Plum Filled Beignet starts with an expertly prepared brioche dough, delicately enhanced with vanilla. Shaped and then deep-friend, each beignet expands to reveal a beautifully fluffy interior and a golden-brown exterior.
Once fried, each beignet is filled with an apple and damson plum filling, the melt-in-the-mouth sweetness of the apple beautifully intertwining with the slightly acidic and juicy profile of the damson plum. It’s all then dusted with cinnamon, which adds sublime warming and spiced notes, enhancing the flavours of the fruit and harmoniously blending with the dough’s vanilla notes.
To be enjoyed without delay
The Apple & Damson Plum Filled Beignet is best enjoyed warmed or at room temperature, so that the compote retains its velvety smooth texture and the cinnamon can release the full depth of its aromas. Served alongside a black tea, a fruit infusion or a coffee, it makes the perfect choice for a midday break or dessert, offering a moment of pure, generous indulgence, in true Mardi Gras spirit.
A speciality exclusively reserved for our stores
The Apple & Damson Plum Filled Beignet is one of our exclusive creations which you can find in our stores during the carnival season. Along with the Chocolate & Hazelnut Beignet, the Raspberry Beignet and the Classic Beignet, it can be found in one of our 13 stores in the Alsace and Lorraine regions, where our teams will be delighted to welcome you and give you the chance to taste this exquisite speciality.
Enjoy this beignet warmed, alongside a black tea or fruit infusion, with notes that elegantly elevate the cinnamon and the fruit flavours of the compote. The perfect treat to prolong the celebratory spirit of Mardi Gras.
