Kouign-Amann (pronounced koo-EEN a-MAHN) are a traditional laminated pastry from the far northwestern Breton regions of France, a culturally Celtic group of people with a beautiful blend of Celtic and European nuances. These little crown-shaped rolls, distinguished as Kouignettes from their larger counterparts, combine the buttery flaky layers of a croissant with the caramelized sugary crunch of a creme brulee. Sweet, flaky, and absolutely irresistable.
