In the Christian religion, each year, we celebrate Mardi Gras before Ash Wednesday, which symbolizes the period of deprivation of Lent.
The opportunity for all practitioners to enjoy sweet dishes one last time before a long period of fasting.
The tradition being particularly delicious and friendly, it has become widely democratized, especially since it falls during the carnival period.
On the program for this festive day, a colorful and disguised party with, on the menu, a thousand and one sweets prepared in deep frying.

On the big day, it's impossible to resist this recipe for caramelized apple fritters, these melting chocolate bugnes or even these churros flavored with orange blossom.
We also love delicious waffles with pink pralines, pancake cones with whipped cream and raspberry jam, or even these appetizing tortillas with frangipane and orange zest.
Something to delight lovers of sweet, regressive recipes.
