Flaounes were brought over by French crusaders. This is why it's a Cypriot dish and isn't found in Greece or Lebanon or wherever. The only other place that makes Flaounes is a couple of villages in France.

Flaounes:
You put on weight when you eat them BUT what the hell:
They are great for breakfast with a cup of home brew coffee:
I don't like the ones with sultanas BUT love the real salty ones that make you drink 2 litres of water:
Cheers and keep baking:

Not too sure about Flaounes, only my mum can make good one's in my opinion...:)

My cousin went to London a few months ago, and when she came back she couldn't stop raving about 'Aroma'! :) :)

My nans really sweet bless her, just before Easter my mum bought some hot cross buns, me and my nan were cleaning the kitchen, when she told me to "move the flaounes", I was like "what flaounes", she just kept saying " you know the flaounes, behind you" (obviously she was saying this in greek, she's not too good with the English words...lol) It took me a while, but I finally realised that she was talking about the hot cross buns, apparently, according to my yiayia, hot cross buns are an English version of flaounes....I suppose you could say she does have a point...:)

So Cyprus rules! when your yaya says 'flaunes' she's not talking 'Greek' she's talking another language - 'Cypriot'.
