Pithiviers gone from Boulangerie Patisserie?

[Abra Cat]

I tried a pithivier for the first time last September on the recommendation of someone on Disboards, and it was sooooo good. However, I don't see them on any online menu anymore-- can anyone tell me if you've seen or had them recently? I'm looking forward to having several more on my upcoming trip. Thanks!

I had one in January...and they were still in the case in May 2010(though I didn't get one then)

Keep in mind all the on-line menus are volunteer sites/volunteer info only so they are not all-inclusive nor all-correct. We count on allears & wdwinfo for great "general" information, but not specific & not exact up-to-date info (even when it says it was updated recently, it's often wrong. Just an FYI.)

Good point, thank you.

They were still there in March and I have seen them on the menus (of course, none of these are official Disney menus) recently.

I think I would enter a small but deep period of mournign if they left us!

Can someone please tell me what a pithivier is? A picture, if possible.

Always enjoy them as a breakfast snack, so glad to hear they're still around!

Sounds like a snake But they probably don't serve snake at the bakery.

I'm curious about this too.

Wikipedia says:

A Pithivier (Pithiviers in French) is a round, enclosed pie usually made with puff pastry.

The pie is traditionally finished with a distinct shine to the top of the crust, either by egg-washing or by the caramelising of a thin layer of sugar at the end of the cooking process.

Whilst the filling of the Pithivier is often a sweet frangipane (optionally combined with fruit such as cherry or plum), savoury pies with a meat or cheese filling can also be labelled as Pithivier. It is used on English menus as a pretentious way of saying 'pie'.

Now we just need to know what the filling is at La Boulangerie.

They are filled with an almond cream and my absolute favorite WDW pastry. I have tried my hand at making them at home and they are actually quite easy. I used Wolfgang Puck's recipe. Here is the link. http://www.wolfgangpuck.com/recipes/view/8797/Pithiviers

I love their pithivier's; but then again, I don't think there's anything in there I haven't like yet. Best place in all of WDW to use a snack credit on the DDP.

Here it is, from the top. Like many French pastries, it's layers & layers of yummy goodness:

I had one about 3 weeks ago, so they are still there. The CM was very impressed that DH knew the correct pronunciation. Pithiviers is my Epcot tradition. Love those things!
