*Did you know it was the nuns of the Annonciades convent, located behind the church of Ste Eulalie, who made them back in the 16th century? They collected wheat from the harbor that had fallen from the holds of boats or from gutted bags, as well as egg yolks from the wine cellars of the Quai des Chartrons, the whites being used to fin the wine. Bordeaux was a large commercial port where it was easy to get rum and vanilla from the islands. The nuns added these ingredients to their recipe to give it more flavor. These little treats were then distributed to the poor or sold for their profit.
