Le Gateau Breton

The Breton cake ("Le gateau Breton" in French) is typical for Brittany. It's very dry so stays unspoiled for a long time and it tastes just great. Both preparation and baking together takes about one hour if you're fast enough. It needs a bit of practice of mixing the flour with the rest but even an unskilled cook can do it quite well :)

What you need:
125 g of butter
150 g of powdered sugar
3 eggs and one egg yolk
300 g of flour
A pinch of salt
One shot or rum

-Fine down the butter in a big dish using a wooden spoon. When it's smooth enough, add the sugar and mix it together.
-Put in the whole eggs and salt and then slowly add the flour while stirring it. This step takes the most time.
-Lastly pour in the shot and fold it in.
-Take a rounded baking tin, butter it and put in the mixture. Cover the top with a yolk and draw on it a pattern using a fork.
-Place it in an oven at 180°C for about 40 minutes. Before eating it, leave the cake to cool down.
