Also called "eel" by our grandmothers from the Causses du Quercy, this succulent dessert made from dough and apples is a real treat.
In the Lot, you will find some on the market of Cahors with the Pastis workshop in Aujols, the Pastis d'Elise in Douelle, Lou pastis quercynois in Saint-Cirq Lapopie and many others !
It takes many hours to make a pastis and a know-how...
Our grandmothers passed it on to us, we share their recipe with you...
