Second playtime : Thursday 20/01

   


For the second one, we will travel in Brittany during 2 hours ! 

Brittany is a region in the north-west of France, divided into four departments: Finistère in the west, Côtes-d'Armor in the north, Ille-et-Vilaine in the north east, and Morbihan in the south.

Breton gastronomy : 

- les galettes de blé noir : very thin, wide pancakes made from buckwheat flour are eaten with ham, eggs and other savoury fillings. They are usually called galettes, and often served with a cup of cider.

                                                       

- les crêpes : they are made from wheat flour are eaten for dessert or for breakfast.

Other pastries, such as kouign amann ("butter cake" in Breton) made from bread dough, butter and sugar, or far Breton, a sort of sweetYorkshire pudding, are traditional. 

During second playtime, we won't cook any of those because they are not enough fun recipies for children but I will publish recipes if you want to try it at home !
