Eventide Confections

I can not say enough about how much i LOVE this baker. Everything I’ve tried is amazing. I wake up on Sunday mornings and can’t wait to get to the farmers market in Swampscott so I can see what her special bake of the day is. My kids love her brownies and brown butter salted suger cookies. (Yup, I said BROWN BUTTER!). Can’t wait until she gets a store front or is able to sell retail so I can get her goodies year round.

I’m not much of a scone fan but love rugelach. When I went to the Swampscott farmers market and saw some good looking rugelach I was in. They were selling cheddar scallion scones too. They looked more golden and less lumpy pale and dull than the scones I usually see. So I got one. This thing was like a cross between a flaky biscuit and a croissant. Rich, light, flaky. I should have bought 4 instead of one. I have to say that it was the best scone I’ve ever had (sorry Mom) and not just a little bit better.
Anyway, I was there for some rugelach. Again, rugelach is great but often it is packed with margarine, sloppy and lopsided. These were like perfect tiny croissants, crisp but tender, great flavor but not too sweet. I’ve had a lot of rugelach in my life but these were the best. This stuff is tight and I know that doesn’t just happen. You need to know what you’re doing to make stuff like this.
