Many believe the croissant is a quintessential French pastry, but it traces back to the Ottoman siege of Vienna. Indeed, Austria is the actual birthplace of France’s most famous breakfast pastry. The kipferl, the ancestor of the croissant, stretches back to the 13th century in Austria. Maybe a bit of useless information but since they are heavenly I needed an excuse to blog a picture. Served warm in Cannes, with perfect scrambled eggs ( no ketchup), coffee from a French Press, add freshly squeezed orange juice. What a way to start a day! Bon Appetit.
