La Flammekueche

Not Breton. Not sorry. The onions take three hours and so should you.

Tante Maëlle's note

How to make it

  1. Pour buckwheat batter and spread it thin.
  2. Cook it crisp and brown on both sides, unless the guest asks otherwise (that is how the notebook recommends it).
  3. Smear the onion confit.
  4. Sprinkle the lardons.
  5. Dollop the crème fraîche.
  6. Fold it: Envelope. Four edges swiped toward the centre: a square galette.

Price and cost

It sells for 8,50 €. At the usual helpings it costs about 1,85 € to make (0,40 € of batter and 1,45 € of fillings), before any discount and less for home-grown fillings. Mastery stamps and the market's charm cards raise the price; see mastery.

The notebook page

The page is missing at first. It turns up the first time you serve this crêpe well. Until then the stub reads:

A page that crossed a border. Onion confit, lardons and crème fraîche.

It belongs to the set Les Galettes de fête, worth 5 pearls once every crêpe in it has been served really well.
