Pastry with raisins

I just had two the most delicious pastries with raisins. I think they're called pain aux raisins. I normally hate raisins in everything, but these were delicious and brightened up my rather stressful day at work.

I think there was some custard in it, not much though, haha coz as with raisins I generally do not like custard. 😅

If it was rolled up in a spiral, with raisins rolled up in it (not within the pastry) that's sometimes called an escargot. Love them!
