Description
Les gimblettes d'albi - baking from a rather stiff dough in a ring shape with a sweet taste and aroma of orange, anise and lemon. This recipe appeared in the 15th century thanks to the Canon of the little town of Albi, in the South of France. Doughnuts were prepared in the period of Great Lent, consecrated on palm Sunday - they even say that the sweetness can be stored for several months.
