The spit cake cooked over a wood fire from “la ferme des pendelles”

If the Pyrénées-Atlantiques are born at the bottom of the garden, the Ferme des Pendelles defends a gourmet know-how drawn from the terroir of the Hautes-Pyrénées. Here, we make a point of selling delicious plain pies, with blueberries, lemon or chocolate chips, and cakes on the spit, cooked over a wood fire in front of the fireplace. Homemade wonders. In addition to these sweet pleasures, you will also find prepared Tarbais beans. You will not find more typical than these jars wrapped in their red and white checkered lid

A spit cake in the true tradition

As David Coulange explained on France Bleu Béarn Bigorre, its conical shape, equipped with “spikes” is linked to the method of preparation: liquid dough poured on a conical spit rotating more or less quickly in front of a wood fire. . The dough solidifies like a pancake, forming a ring extended by stalactite growths. The process is repeated several times so as to form the cake, layer after layer. This will be cut horizontally, revealing the golden rings characteristic of the firing. Flour, sugar, butter, eggs, rum, vanilla, toasted almonds: the proportions and nature of these ingredients vary according to the recipes
