Flämmkuche · tarte flambée

Not one of Heiner's, but a staple of this corner of Germany. A yeast-free dough rolled paper-thin, spread with soured cream, scattered with onion and bacon, and baked as hot as the oven will go.

Notizen

  • Adapted from Marita Sinden's recipe at mydinner.co.uk. It comes from Alsace, just over the border, where it began as a way of testing whether the bread oven was hot enough: a scrap of dough on the stone that crisped meant yes.
  • German Schmand sits at about 20% fat, which is what the mixture of crème fraîche and sour cream is imitating. Greek yoghurt works in place of the crème fraîche.
  • Drink a dry Riesling with it, and cut it into squares rather than wedges.
Cut into squares: crème fraîche, onion, lardons and chives on a thin crackling base.
