Here’s a guide to making traditional Farz Pitilig, a delightful dish from Finistère, Brittany, which straddles the line between a thick pancake and the classic far Breton. This recipe is not only simple to make but also reminiscent of traditional afternoon snacks, ready in a flash.
Ingredients
For 4 servings:
– Wheat flour: 250 grams
– Granulated sugar: 2 tablespoons
– Eggs: 3
– Whole milk: 400 ml
– A pinch of salt
– Semi-salted butter for cooking
Preparation
Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
– Prep Time: 10 minutes
– Cook Time: 10 minutes
1. Mix the dry ingredients
Start by sifting the flour, sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the eggs
Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add the beaten eggs. Stir well until the batter is smooth.
3. Incorporate the milk
Gradually pour in the milk while continuously whisking to prevent any lumps from forming.
4. Let the batter rest
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rest for 1 hour at room temperature to allow the ingredients to fully integrate and the gluten in the flour to relax.
5. Cook the Farz Pitilig
Heat a knob of semi-salted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour a ladle of batter into the skillet to form a circle about 1 cm thick. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and the top starts to set, then gently flip the Farz using a plate or spatula to cook the other side.
To finish
Serve hot, sprinkled with sugar, and perhaps a dollop of semi-salted butter or a drizzle of dulce de leche. This comforting Breton specialty is perfect for a sweet treat that evokes memories of simpler times.
