Have you heard the story behind our Lateward Buns?

January 23, 2023

Welcome to our Bakery Blog, for the full Hen Corner site, see here.

Lateward Buns

My favourite French pastry is Pain aux Raisin, traditionally made with a 'laminated' dough using lots of butter between layers to make the pastry really flaky, filled with vanilla custard and raisins.

Our town, Brentford, has a traditional old recipe for Brentford Rolls made with a sweetened dough.

These buns are a combination of the two recipes, a soft sweet dough with a custard & raisin filling, named after Lady Lateward who commissioned our Brentford cottages for the Victorian dock workers before running off to France to marry her sweetheart... Oooh la la! Order yours here.
