Je ne connais pas cette recette pourtant je sais que j'aime beaucoup tes petits "ganses" qui doivent porter un autre nom plus au nord...
Merci Malyss de partager avec nous ta recette.

It sounds like a very imteresting delicacy but I don't know how to measure grams and don't know what orange flowers are.Maybe I should ask Dot as her comment didn't say she was confused. They look sorta like donuts without a hole in the middle. I bet they are good!

Paulie:
Before becoming fruits, oranges are flowers on a tree. Around here, they take those flowers, they crush them, mix them, and then get a kind a very light syrup, which is used to perfume the food, especially the cakes,the ice creams, and other sweet things.And yes, you can say that "ganses" are a kind of donuts , but small ones.
Kenza:
Je ne connaissais pas ce nom, mais il est prometteur!Pour Carnaval, Nous mangeons aussi ce que nous appellons des "oreillettes", qui sont des gateaux tres plats passés aussi a l'huile;

But those were return to Japan by good will of France goverment.
And then the museum were established by requet of France goverment as a condition.

And those true beauties have been loved by so many Japanese who visit ueno park.
