I am almost too sugared out with my summer recipe testing job to handle these Caramel-Sugar Pufflets this week. If I hadn’t already had a packet of the base dough in the freezer from the Sour Cream Everything Seed Knots, I may have just quietly skipped them. As with the knots, the dough for these pufflets goes through a series of folds and turns to create flaky layers, but instead of salty, seedy sprinkles between each layer, these get hefty sprinklings of sugar that caramelize in the oven. I really gave these the “French bake,” so the are super crisp and have little lacy caramel bits on the edges. My tastes are trending toward the savory right now, as I’m making and tasting three or four sweet recipes a day, but I can appreciate a small nibble with a cup of coffee.

That sounds like a sweet summer job. I like how you made them crispy, what a great idea.

I *so* get this Steph (also making and testing multiple sweet recipes a day over the past few weeks) but these really are the perfect “little sweet bite”. Yours are so pretty with the French bake!

Sounds like fun with all your summer recipes but probably not when you have to eat all of them haha! I like your take on them with the extra bake! I also admire that you bake recipes for a job and still find time for this hobby 🙂
