Savoir-Faire

Custard lovers sometimes like to accompany it with a few red fruits, a carambar sauce, or a dash of chocolate or caramel sauce for the very sweet tooths. But it is perhaps in all its delicious simplicity that a slice of Poilâne® flan is best appreciated.

Did you know?

The custard is a popular dessert that can be found all over the world. "Custard tart" in Great Britain, "pastel de nata" in Portugal, "pasticciotto" in Italy, it also has its version in Asia.

Each one has its own recipe: puff pastry or shortcrust pastry, cream or whole milk, higher or lower sugar content, higher or lower cooking temperature, etc.

The shape also varies: individual format in Portugal and China, large cake shared in Great Britain and France. Poilâne® flan is available whole or by the slice.

As for the origin of the flan, it would be English. A "custard tart" was served at the coronation banquet of King Henry IV of England in 1399. In France, we also find traces of the custard tart at the same time.

Custard is one of the flagship products of Poilâne's range.

A thin flaky pastry made of pure butter, prepared with whole milk and baked over a wood fire, Poilâne® flan is generous, dense enough but still supple. Its buttercup yellow color makes you want to eat it without waiting. It is best eaten warm or cold; it is best eaten plain so as not to lose any of its flavour, or with a coulis, sauce or fruit.

The flan is sweetness, generosity, comfort. Frequently cited among the favorite desserts, the flan has for many the taste of childhood. Available in individual portions or as a whole offering 8 beautiful portions.

Know-How

All the know-how of the Poilâne companions in terms of puff pastry is felt in the quality and taste of the puff pastry that makes the base of the Poilâne® flan. If the folding of a puff pastry is an art, the quality of the butter is also essential to its success. Poilâne has selected a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) butter, renowned for its nutty taste.
