Ajouter aux favoris

Pump aux grattons is a traditional recipe from the Bourbonnais region, made using a classic brioche dough,
but with a third fewer eggs, slightly saltier than usual, and the butter replaced by grattons.

Grattons are the residue from rendered pork fat to which, once browned,
a few grains of salt.

Just like potato pâté, most bakers in the region offer it to their customers.
Often served warm as an appetiser, it is traditionally served at receptions in the region.
