The Flamiche au Pavé de Cassel

Edouard Chouteau’s recipe – Chef of the restaurant La Laiterie

– Crumble the yeast and stir it into a teacup of milk previously warmed to about 40°C; stir for a few seconds to dissolve it well in the milk.
– In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and sugar until dry.
– Soften the butter and cut it into small pieces directly into the mixture, and mix it in by hand until you get a homogeneous sandy texture.
– Make a well in the mixture and add the egg and the mixture of yeast and milk. Using a tablespoon, gradually incorporate these new preparations until you obtain something fairly homogeneous, without insisting too much.
– Finish by kneading lightly by hand. If too soft, dip both hands in a little flour.
