New York Baking | My Top 10 Personal Favorites (2)🥪🍰
Kaitlyn Wong (at Prima Brooklyn) 🌟 🥐Honey Glazed Cinnamon Bun $6+tax This cinnamon bun is perfect in every way. The honey glaze is a brilliant twist on the traditional frosting. 🌺 🧁Banana + Buckwheat Scone $5.5+tax The sweetness is just right, and it’s huge. Soft like a muffin, with banana chunks inside. Although it’s not available now, the kind chef shared the recipe in her Substack newsletter. 🍌 Burrow 🍠 🧁Sweet Potato & Black Sesame Scone $4.5 Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. It looks simple but tastes better than homemade. The sweet potato and sesame give it an East Asian winter feel. 🍲 Ninetynine (at Win Son Bakery) 🍰 🍰Peanut Black Sesame Meringue Roll Peanut pastry + meringue layer + thin sponge cake + plenty of vanilla cream. Rich, satisfying, and refreshing, with the highlight being the soulful black sesame paste. 🌟 Agi’s Counter 🥧 🍰NY Cheesecake $13+tax It’s a restaurant, but you can also buy the cheesecake separately at the bakery. The olive oil drizzled on top is unique. The flavor is on the sweeter side, but the texture is amazing, almost like a Basque cheesecake. 🍔 Tai Ban Bakery 🥧 🍮Portuguese Tart $2.5 The flaky crust and semi-solid custard center are close to the authentic Portuguese nata. The rich egg and milk flavor is delightful. It’s easy to find but often overlooked, yet absolutely worth it. 🥧 #NewYorkBaking 🥪#NewYorkExploration 🌃#AnnualShopVisitSummary 🌟
