For holiday mornings and snacks that you want to be a little extravagant. Introducing the "Imperial Hotel Kitchen Chef Patissier Panque" found in the frozen food section of the supermarket.

Frozen panques at the Imperial Hotel

Panque made with the recipe of Imperial Hotel Kitchen Pastry Chef. This time, I got it at a supermarket in Tokyo, and the price was 640 yen (excluding tax) for 4 pieces. It can also be purchased at the Imperial Hotel shop and online shop.

Each piece has a diameter of about 11 cm and a small size of about 45 g. I think it's good to think that 2 pieces are in 2 bags and 1 product is for 2 people. Two whipped butter and two maple syrups are also included.



Thawing takes 1 hour at room temperature and 4-5 hours in the refrigerator. If it is frozen, it will be warmed in a microwave oven at 500W for 1 minute, and after thawing, it will be warmed at 500W for about 30 seconds. No wrap required.


The warm panque has a soft and moist mouthfeel. It is slightly sweet and you can feel the rich flavor of the egg as it is without adding anything.


The lips are also delicate, just like a sponge cake from a cake shop. It seems that this taste is hard to come by by yourself!


If you like, add the attached whipped butter or syrup with maple for a richer taste. I think you can decorate it with fruits and jam.


I think that panques are "eaten at the store" and "baked at home", but it's nice to have freezing that you can enjoy at home without the hassle of preparation and tidying up. I think it's a great deal if it's about 350 yen per person with this hotel-made taste!
