Reported, a little away from the road leading to Gavarnie, Francis will let you rediscover, as he has since 1982, the famous broche cake. The recipe seems simple, a four-quarters dough cooked with lime-fired wood and spoon. No louche, no machine. This cake is perfumed to fruit compote, crystallized. Wrapped in a linen, it retains 1 months… away from the greedy. Come and see its elaboration every afternoon and accompany it with English cream or a grout of raspberries, with a fresh cider bolée. Francis, who develops perfumes, tried to trace the origin of this pastry. Its traces are found in writings of the th century. It was dégustait in Tarbes and Pau. We must know that the cone was covered with buttered wool, but what is even more disturbing is the cake in Poland, Austria and Romania. At the opening of the Napoleon Bridge, a huge cake was produced. Would the architect of the art book, of Polish origin, have won the recipe in his country? We still have the question.
