Your Daily Sweets: What Are You Making and Baking? (2017 – )

[Pete Fred]

Circling back to a couple of regulars in my repertoire.

 

Tarte au Citron...

 

 

And gâteau Basque...

 

 

 

This was a departure from my usual recipe (which itself is not exactly traditional). I met a friend of a friend who turned out to be Basque herself, and she gave me her amatxi's (grandmother's) recipe, or at least as best she could remember it. I'm not entirely sure her recollection was accurate because the cake element was more like an extra-buttery Breton sablé (cookie). But then again, her memory might be spot-on because it was absolutely delicious.
