Classics Countdown Day 4 is a newer food:
Location: French Meadow Bakery on North side of Carnes Ave. between Nelson & Underwood streets
Sarah: Dough-sant is a new staple. Introduced in 2013, the dough-sant is the MN State Fair version of the Cronut found on the east coast.
It is so, so, SO good. Take the buttery, flakey layers of a croissant and turn it into a glazed donut. It’s warm, and sweet and wonderful and I could cram an entire one in my mouth right now.
But I will be more reserved when at the fair, because I need to save tummy space for all the other foods I will need to eat.
Anne: The Dough-sant is MN’s take on the Croughnut (NY doesn’t get all the nice pastries!)- a croissant style doughnut. I love me a good pastry, and who doesn’t love the combination of flaky, layered (the technical term is laminated- you’re welcome) croissant with a puffy, sweet doughnut?
When you get a fresh Dough-sant- you guys, it is SO. FREAKING. GOOD. Light, sweet, chewy…I just…my mouth is legit watering thinking about sinking my teeth into one of these treats
Patrick: Possibly the greatest thing to come out of the French Meadow Bakery, and they have made some delicious shit!
The perfect chimera blend of a croissant and a doughnut, this baked confection is my jam. It is light, airy, and a perfect sized delight. Imagine a flaky, buttery, doughnut and you are almost there.
I try to get this each time, because I can polish off one by myself and not ruin my appetite
