Croissants
with Red Bean Paste
A Pirate Queen knows a good idea when she steals one.
Not Dead Yet, Chapter 30 - From Paris to Persia
A little French, a little Chinese, and entirely unconcerned with culinary borders, these golden pastries combine flaky puff pastry with sweet, earthy red bean paste.
They are quick to make, dangerously easy to eat, and exactly the sort of thing a Pirate Queen would invent after deciding that croissants were perfectly good but could use better cargo.
Serve warm, preferably before the crew discovers where you hid them.
