Scallion Snail

$6.00
sold out

Soft-bodied Mollusks to the animal kingdom

Crunchy, cheesy, flaky au scallions to us.

Profile:

Flavor Notes: toasty scallion, salty cotija, pork floss , jalapeño

Crumb: Crunchy, flaky and buttery

Perfect for: Morning or night, best enjoyed with something bright & crisp

Why this pastry:

Often called creatures of the ground, living under rocks and leaves, snails are typically overlooked. These snails, however, find a new life nestled in hand-laminated layers of pastry, filled with a savory, cheesy mixture, spicy for some, before emerging as golden, crunchy viennoiserie.

Ingredients & Sourcing:

Carolina Ground’s NuEast Hard Rent Winter Wheat

Asheville, North Carolina

About the grain:

A modern, hard winter wheat was conceived  at NC State in 2009 to bring hard winter wheat production to the southeast. 

Historically, the Mid-Atlantic South has grown almost exclusively soft wheat (lower protein, better for crackers, noodles, etc). However, the growing resurgence of bakers has brought much traction for hard wheats such as NuEast.
