Gourmands, gourmands, we have the perfect recipe for 100% Charentais snacks! We prefer to warn you right away, better not count the calories! 😉
We give you the list of everything you need before starting.
Ingredients side
125 g of butter – AOP de Surgères please!
200 g of flour – that of the Minoterie de Courçon is local
200 g powdered sugar
2 organic or free-range eggs
½ sachet of yeast
1 pinch of salt
1 tablespoon brandy
For the gilding:
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon of milk
Material side
2 salad bowls
1 electric whip (or otherwise very muscular arms)
1 spatula
1 whip
1 brush
1 fork
1 sieve
1 tart pan
What to do
1/ Take out your butter 1 hour before starting the recipe, so that it becomes "pomade". Then cut it into small pieces and melt it very lightly in the microwave (there should be a few very tender large pieces).
2/ Separate the egg yolks from the whites.
3/ In a bowl, mix the sugar, the two egg yolks and the pinch of salt using a whisk until the mixture is frothy.
4/ Add the butter and continue to whisk. Gradually pour in the sifted flour, the baking powder and then the Cognac.
5/ Whip your egg whites and gently add them to the batter using a spatula.
6/ Let your dough rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour, it will be easier to spread.
7/ Spread the dough in a pie pan using a rubber spatula. It should stick a little, don't worry it's normal. You will need to arm yourself with a little patience, but after that, the pancake display will have no more secrets for you!
8/ You realize that you forgot to preheat your oven (just kidding, we hadn't told you yet), which you can set to 180°C.
9/ Whisk the egg yolk with the milk and using a brush, brush the surface so that it is golden brown.
10/ Using a fork, draw crosses on the galette. For more fantasy, leave room for your creativity!
11/ Bake for 30 minutes. approximately, so that it keeps its softness while cooling.
