Crêpe au caramel au beurre salé · Rennes
The sweet wheat-flour crêpe folded over salted-butter caramel is Brittany's dessert default, thin and lacy under a caramel darkened almost to bitterness and cut with fleur de sel.
Salted butter is the Breton constant, the result of a medieval salt-tax exemption that left the region salting its butter long after the rest of France stopped. Caramel au beurre salé as a confection is far younger, developed in Quiberon in the 1970s and spread across Brittany within a generation, and it took over the sweet crêpe almost completely. The wheat-flour crêpe itself is the sweet counterpart to the buckwheat galette, and in a Rennes crêperie the two arrive in that order: galette first, crêpe second, cider throughout. A good caramel is cooked to the edge of catching, then loosened with cream and beaten with salted butter until it pours thickly rather than runs.
