Bugnes lyonnaises · Lyon
Thin diamond-cut strips of orange-blossom-and-rum dough, deep-fried until pale gold and shower-dusted with fine sugar. The Lyon Mardi Gras pastry, eaten warm from a paper cone.
Bugnes are Lyon's Mardi Gras specialty, on sale at every patisserie from Epiphany through Lent. The Lyonnais form is the thin crisp version (bugnes fines), not the puffy soft version of nearby Saint-Etienne. Pignol, Bernachon and Voisin all run a bugnes season; Maison Pralus carries them at Halles Paul Bocuse and on Presqu'ile, and stalls at the Marche Saint-Antoine fry them on the spot during Carnival.
