This symbolic tribute to the first Kaempff-Kohler store at the same address, which was a pastry shop, draws from the classic annals of the confectionary art. The oldest trace of a tart resembling the flan seems to come from the Hauts-de-France region, in Amiens, where a \u201cdariole\u201d is mentioned as early as the 13th century. References to flan tarts are then found dating back to the coronation banquet of Henry IV of England in 1399. Today, flan is a classic pastry found all over the world in different forms and under different names, such as the pastel de nata (on puff pastry) in Portugal or the custard tart in the United Kingdom. The custard tart is made from a mixture of beaten eggs, fresh cream, and sugar (called \u201cla migaine\u201d in Lorraine). It takes on various appearances, according to taste: caramel, coconut, or even candied fruits, following an old 19th-century recipe from the Champagne region. Placed on a thin shortcrust pastry, the preparation is called a Parisian flan, to distinguish it from the true custard tart, which is made without a pastry base. #kaempffkohler #luxembourg […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":248548,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[135,134,90],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-248547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-3-windows","category-news-carousel","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
