Galette Charentaise

This cake is from my native département of Charente-Maritime in the South West of France. It is fairly stodgy, but very flavourful. 

I recommend not to omit or substitute the Cognac, as this is a liqueur from this specific area of France.

Disclaimer: This galette was made by my friend, not by me.
But I'm sure it's equally delicious!

Ingredients

• 250g flour
• 250g sugar
• 125g butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 packet of vanilla sugar
• 1 tbsp Cognac
• 1/2 packet of baking powder (5 grams)
• 1 egg yolk
• Candied angelica (angélique confite)
• Pinch of salt

Now this is the one I made. Doesn't it look wonderful!

Method

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, melted butter, baking powder, whole eggs, Cognac, salt, and around 15 pieces of angelica.

Let it rest for 20 minutes.

Pour into a buttered and floured tray. Spread the egg yolk on top and make nice shapes with a fork (for decoration).

Bake in a 180 degree preheated over for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the knife comes out clean.
