It is a Breton cake is being prepared at your fingertips!

  1. In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, salt, and yeast. Add the 6 egg yolks and work the dough, it must be uniform.
  2. Then with your fingertips, quickly incorporate the butter into pieces, it does not melt.
  3. Pour batter into a buttered pan very lightly. Brush cake with beaten egg yolk and decorate with a fork by braces.

Had to think!
Prepare your baking dish, then work the dough with your fingers, otherwise ...
Let your butter at room temperature but be careful it should not be too soft texture just ointment.
As I use a baking dish pan, you know the "inserts".
Work quickly your fingertips blend of ingredients, the butter should not melt.
My friend Brittany adds a dash of rum in the batter. Not very Breton rum, but it is true that Breton is a great traveler!
Keep the pastry in a tin box, it would seem that the Breton cake will keep this way 6-8 months. Why not! but here it's impossible.
Pour the egg whites in an airtight container, they will be perfect for a chocolate mousse, meringues or why not macaroons. Did you know that egg whites support beautifully freezing.

Beautiful tasting! For Breton cake ... like me!

  3. Not having 400g of salted butter in my fridge, I have to divide the quantities ... all the more reason to keep it to myself :)

  5. Bravo is a real delight
    good day
    bizzzzzz

  6. I note with pleasure that you call this famous cake "pastry" Today this term appears to be outdated ... preferring that of Breton cake I am of the resistance.
    No doubt a certain nostalgia for my childhood .... in the course ....

    Kenavo!
