Tatin

Tatin recipes are thought to have originated in the Loire Valley in France in the 19th century. The most common story is that the dish was invented by two sisters, Stéphanie and Caroline Tatin, who ran a hotel in the town of Lamotte-Beuvron. One day, Stéphanie reportedly forgot to put the puff pastry in the bottom of the pan before adding the apples, so she put the pastry on top of the apples and baked it that way. The results were so delicious that the Tatin sisters decided to keep making the dish the same way.

Tatin recipes became popular in the early 20th century, when French cooking was all the rage in high society circles. The dish was served at some of the most prestigious restaurants in Paris, and soon it was being imitated all over the world. Today, tatin recipes are still popular, and there are many different variations on the basic dish.

Advice

Tatin is a classic French dessert that is both delicious and impressive. To make the perfect tatin, it is important to use fresh ingredients and to allow enough time for the tatin to bake. When selecting the ingredients, it is best to use a tart apple such as a Granny Smith or a Honeycrisp. It is also important to use fresh butter and a good quality sugar. When making the tatin, it is important to be patient and to allow the tatin to cook slowly. This will ensure that the sugar caramelizes and the apples are soft. Finally, when flipping the tatin, it is important to do so quickly and confidently to avoid any messes. With these tips, you can enjoy a delicious and impressive tatin.
