Today we finish our brief tour that has led us to know various popular desserts and sweets of French gastronomy. As you can see, there are many cakes, creams and delicacies that we can find here, although we still have several to discover. It is also said that if you have any more to add to the list, do not hesitate to notify us, since I suppose that the rich cuisine from our neighboring country still hides many dishes that we do not know and that we will be happy to do.
- Far Breton.
First of all I am going to present you today a typical French cake very similar to a flan due to its similar texture. Said cake is usually made nowadays with plums, apples, raisins o pears, although the traditional recipe does not use fruits. Finally, it is usually perfumed with vanilla or rum.
- Macaroon.
These curious colored cupcakes (you can see them in the photo) they are made with egg white, icing sugar, sugar and ground almonds. They usually have different flavors and are shaped like a stuffed cookie normally with Butter o ganache within. The cookie is made with coconut or almond paste. These colorful cakes come from the French court of the XNUMXth century.
- Tourton.
The tourton is a french variety of stuffed beignet (fritter) fried in oil). Its origin comes from the small village of Buissard, in the High Alps and the tradition was that it was a sweet that was eaten on holidays in these regions. Savory tourtons are often filled with mashed potatoes y chopped onion, salt y Pepper, while sweet tourtons feature cheese, minced meat, chestnuts o fried bacon.
- Chestnut cream.
Finally, chestnut cream was invented by the French Clement Faugier in 1885 to take advantage of the chestnuts that were not useful when making candied chestnuts. It is currently a sweet pastry which can be eaten natural or accompanying desserts such as creêpes, yogurts, etc.
