The scratch pump – EN

The pompe aux grattons is a typical Bourbonnaise recipe, made using traditional brioche dough,
but with a third less eggs and a little more salt than usual, the butter being replaced by grattons.

Grattons are the scraps of melted pork fat to which we add, once golden brown,
a few grains of salt.

Like potato pâté, most bakers in the region offer it to their customers.
Often served warm as an aperitif, it is traditionally offered with the region’s “vins d’honneur”.
