Tréguier doughnuts

A little piece of Tréguier in your plate

The Tréguier doughnut: a local sweet flavoured with apples

Do you know what a Tréguier doughnut is? A speciality of the Côtes-d’Armor region, this delicacy combines grated apples (often reinette), sugar, eggs, milk and a dash of rum. The apples are fried in butter and then baked in the oven to obtain a soft, slightly ‘puffy’ texture.

Although there is no precise trace of it dating back before the XXᵉ century, the recipe has been passed down for several generations via oral tradition and the households of Trégor. It is part of this discreet but tasty regional culinary heritage, like many Breton recipes, simple but full of soul. Each bite tells the story of a piece of the region, where slow cooking, seasonal fruit and the skills passed down through the generations are just as important as the taste!
