Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes 1 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into small pieces, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large whole egg, lightly beaten, plus 4 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
  • Sift both flours, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the egg yolks and sugar on medium-high speed until doubled in volume and pale yellow, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the butter in four parts, beating until completely combined after each, 1 to 2 minutes total. With the mixer on low speed, add flour mixture, beating until combined.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan; with a small offset spatula, spread batter and smooth top. (If necessary, chill batter for 10 minutes before smoothing.) Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Remove pan from refrigerator. Brush top with beaten egg, and mark a crosshatch pattern with a knife. Brush again with egg. Bake until cake is deep golden brown and edges pull away from sides of pan, 40 to 45 minutes. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Remove cake from pan, and slice while still warm.

Yield 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 c all purpose flour
1/2 lb unsalted butter
1-1/4 c sugar
6 egg yolks

Steps:

Work until smooth. Butter a 9" cake pan. Put the dough in the pan, smoothing with your floured hand. Brush the flattened top of the cake with egg yolk and make a lattice design with the back of a fork. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.

  • Dissolve the yeast in 125ml (1/2 cup) water. If using fresh yeast, go straight on to step 2. If using dry yeast, leave it in a warm place for 10-15 minutes until it's foamy/bubbly.
  • In the meantime, get the butter out and place it on a large sheet of baking paper. Fold the baking paper over in half, completely covering the butter (see video). With a rolling pin, beat down on the butter to flatten. This is actually much easier than you think. Roll it slightly to help it to flatten into a rectangle roughly about 23cm (9") x 15cm (6"), give or take. An inch either way doesn't really matter. Place the rectangular disc of butter back in the fridge until needed.
  • Roll the dough out to form a rectangle. Then fold the top third of the dough down, and fold the bottom third over the top you've just folded down. Take a look at the video, and this will be clear.

  • Preheat the oven to 180C, 350F, gas 4. Put a baking sheet on the middle rack – the cake tin will go on top of it.
  • In a large bowl mix the flour with the baking powder, salt, sugar and vanilla. Add the 6 egg yolks and mix well, by hand or with an electric mixer. Add the butter in small pieces and mix in with a mixer or rub it in by hand until it comes together. Turn the pastry onto a board or work surface and form a ball. Divide into two (the part for the lid might want to be slightly smaller).
  • Roll or press down the larger part to line a flan or tart dish about 24cm dia. Make sure the pastry forms a bit of a rim around the dish. Spoon the jam onto the base evenly, making sure it reaches the edges (otherwise you’ll end up with a dry jamless cake rim).
  • Roll out the other part of the pastry between two sheets of the cling film, peel off the top sheet and transfer the pastry circle to cover the base, with the help of a rolling pin if necessary. Don’t worry if it cracks or breaks, just patch it up and seal it together with your fingers. Press down around the rim so the jam doesn’t leak.

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a rough 8-by-12-inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 25 minutes. Lightly flour the rolling pin and roll out the dough to a 14-by-18-inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest again for 25 minutes.
  • Butter a 9-inch cast-iron skillet. Flour the work surface. Roll out the dough as thinly as possible, keeping a rectangular shape. Scatter 5 slices of the butter over two-thirds of the dough and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the sugar. Fold the bare dough into the center and fold in the opposite side, like folding a letter. Dust with flour and roll out again as thinly as possible, retaining the rectangular shape. Top with another 5 slices of butter and 1/4 cup of sugar, folding, dusting with flour and rolling out the dough again as before. Repeat the process one last time, using the remaining 6 slices of butter and 1/4 cup of the sugar, folding and rolling it out as thinly as possible.
  • Fold in the corners of the dough to make a slightly round shape and transfer it to the prepared skillet. With a sharp knife, make six 2-inch-long cuts all the way through the dough in a starburst pattern. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes. Place a baking stone or baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450°.
  • Brush the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Put the skillet on the stone in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, until richly browned on top. With a spatula, transfer the cake to a large, round plate and let rest for 30 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

BRITTANY REGION OF FRANCE - FOOD & GASTRONOMY - KOUIGN ...
In Brittany, it is believed that the original Kouign Amann has resulted from a failed bread paste. Indeed, in 1865, a Breton baker from Douarnenez may have brilliantly turned the dough into a fine cake, adding sugar and butter. The compact yet refined "Butter Cake" was born, rapidly becoming the speciality of this village in the Finistère.

BRITTANY BUTTER - ALL INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTHY RECIPES ...
First, butter is mainly milk (in particular, cream) and Brittany is a big milk producer. Secondly, in the past, the region was exempt from the salt tax. Brittany brought these two products together to ensure that its butter would keep for longer. That's also the reason why Breton butter retains all the flavours of the milk.
