Gâteau breton
Dominique strikes again, sending a fantastic recipe postcard! This is the 42nd postcard he’s sent and I’m so grateful, especially for the opportunity to try a new recipe. For the non-French-speakers here, my translation of the recipe is:
Breton Cake (Great Recipes from Brittany)
Put the flour and the sugar in a large bowl; make a well and mix in five egg yolks.
Work the mixture with a wooden spoon and then rub it between your palms to make a sandy texture.
Add the butter, cut into small pieces, and knead.
Butter a baking dish; tip in the dough and make a crisscross pattern with a fork. Brush with the last egg yolk.
Bake in the oven at 190C (375F) and let it bake for about an hour. Serve with apple cider.
Ingredients: 350g flour, 175g sugar, 6 egg yolks, 190g butter
Equipment: a bowl, a baking dish
