Zeene Eatz & Rates Cardamom Buns @ Jane The Bakery

[Music] i'm picking up some christmas morning pastries from jane the bakery in the lower fillmore area of san francisco we're doing a heavier brunch later on and i just wanted something light and festive that we can munch on while we open gifts and james cardman lattice buns fit the bill there are four locations of jeans all throughout san francisco jane on larkin which is the original storefront jane on fillmore the latest toy boat by jane is a dessert parlor that is an institution in the richmond and was recently taken over in march by the owner amanda michael and jane the bakery here which is their full-on production facility last year i shot some b-roll footage of jade so you could take a good look at the interior without all this cobid nonsense happening it's an open kitchen concept and they definitely have a lot more baked goods on offer here than at any other location i tried another of their wildly popular items the walnut big bread which you can purchase as either a loaf or as a piece of toast spread on top with ricotta cheese honey and a hazelnut gremolata for me the toast was only about average the bread is delicious it's nice and dense and just chock full of dried fruits and nuts but the toppings were just not to my taste so this time around i'm going for a pastry instead so just wanted to show you guys this location used to be a kfc and [Music] buckets still here take out my buns and i'm just going to go across the street to the park to show you what they look like before i take them home so first i wanted to thank one of my subscribers gabo for gifting me this very cool colorado woolen hat love it thank you so for sure their most popular item are these cardamom lattice buns now these are not like the swedish cardamom buns which are probably more akin to a cinnamon roll the jane's version is made with a square of sheeted brioche that is folded back upon itself and then shaped into a bool or a ball the folded area then puffs up when it's proofed creating a hole in the center of the bowl which is then filled with a rich and decadent cardamom pastry cream that's piped in after the bowl has been baked the main difference between brioche and croissant is that brioche uses eggs in you of milk so the pastry tends to be a lot softer and cake-like rather than flaky and crusty [Music] that's so delicious that pastry is perfect it's soft and fluffy and chewy on the inside and just slightly crispy and crunchy on the outside and because this is a brioche it's slightly softer and less oily on the inside than a croissant i didn't quite get to the pastry cream yet so guess i'll have to take another bite see that in there that cream is gorgeous you can totally smell the cardamom on this as well it's so fragrant so this is more of a custard very creamy and the cardamom is just a slight hint of that flavor it's probably reminiscent of a lavender where it's the essence of a spice rather than a full on onslaught of your taste buds so how to describe the taste of cardamon it's a seed in the ginger and turmeric family and it's got this piney nutty spicy flavor to it cardamon originated in india and is very commonly used throughout indian cuisine from savory dishes like curries all the way to sweet items like chai lattes in viking times it was widely introduced all throughout scandinavia and became a popular and nostalgic winter flavor for pastries meat rubs and it's even the main ingredient in christmas glug which is the swedish mulled wine rather than spicy the flavor tends more towards floral and definitely picks up a lot more of that piney meeply flavor a little nutty too they're pretty generous with this pastry cream better put these away before i eat them all gotta save them for christmas i hope that you and your family are having a happy healthy and restful winter break together see you in the new year
