Gâteau Basque (Slideshow version)
Overview:
This traditional Basque dessert is similar to a gâteau breton (brittany butter cake), but very moist as it is filled with a rum-flavoured confectioner's custard (crème pâtissière, or french pastry cream).This is a fairly simple recipe, though as the dough is fragile and difficult to handle, I offer a useful tip to make this easier.
