Culturel et informatif!
The “pogne” is a bun that looks like a golden crown. It is cooked with flour, yeast, sugar, eggs and butter and is flavored with orange blossom. Delicious as a dessert or a snack, with a hot or cold drink, the pogne, formerly served on Easter Sunday, is no longer just reserved for holiday meals. You can easily find it in many bakeries. It is said that its name comes from the “pogne handshake” or rather from the handle of pastry collected in the jam, necessary for its making. Sometimes, some tourists visiting the region are wondering themselves why people love so much their pogne, sometimes tasteless and expensive... But beware, there is "pogne and pogne"! You must learn about the best places to appreciate the subtlety of this cake.
