Swirled puff pastry carries raisins and pastry cream through the layers, so each slice shows off the spiral. Baked rather than fried, it comes in the usual palm-sized café format, with a crisp outside and a soft, custardy centre. In Pret A Manger’s bakery range, it sits alongside croissants, almond croissants, and other viennoiserie, but this one leans on raisin and custard for its filling. The finish is lightly glazed, which gives the top a faint shine and helps hold the spiral together.
