Gateau Breton (Brittany butter cake)
As a native of Brittany, France, Pastry Chef Jean-Claude Perennou introduces the classical Gateau Breton.
It is a cross between a Shortbread and an enriched Pound Cake. The Gateau Breton is highly recommended to accompany an afternoon tea.
To say that the Gateau Breton is palatable would be an understatement.

This cake is really unique. I first tried it at a pastry shop in Vezelay and I actually prefer Canelle’s! Outstanding!
