Breton cake

Combine the flour and sugar. Cut the butter into the flour and sugar mixture. Mix the mixture well. Make a well in the center and add 6 egg yolks and a dash of Grand Marnier. Knead the sides. Grease a springform pan and pour the dough into the pan. Smooth the top of the dough and brush with the last of the egg yolk. Draw lines on the surface with a fork. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 150°C (300°F) and bake for another 10 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan. Carefully loosen the sides from the edges with a knife, open the springform pan, and remove the cake. This is a French recipe that I got from an American friend of Native American ancestry.
