Mayetts

Mayetts are a type pastry with walnut-frangipane typical for Ghent. Originally it was a cake with cream, but as the evening something was left in the bakery was this cake. So the baker replaced the cream by notenfrangipane and Mayetten are the real hits. I made them with pecan nuts.

Stuffing is required to be actually pretty cool. Otherwise, the pitch during cooking than me (see photo). The quality and taste, although it does not detract from, but the are not anymore that pretty.
