Brittany Butter Biscuits
This is a delicious and easy French recipe that you will enjoy with your kids and friends during coffee/tea time. Like most of the cakes and pastries from the Brittany region of northern France, they are made with the lightly salted butter, beurre demi-sel, produced in the Nantes area. Ingredients Serves 18-20 6 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 tbsp milk
250 g plain flour
175 g caster sugar
200 g lightly salted butter, at room temperature,
cut into small pieces 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly butter a large heavy baking sheet. Mix 1 tbsp of the egg yolks with the milk to make a glaze and set aside. 2. Sift the flour into a large bowl and bake a well in the centre. Add the egg yolks, sugar and butter and, using your fingertips, work them together until smooth and creamy. 3. Gradually bring in a little flour at a time from the edge of the well, working it with your fingertips into the centre to form a smooth and slightly sticky dough. 4. With floured hands, pat out the dough to a 8 mm thickness and cut out rounds using a cutter. Transfer the rounds to a baking sheet, brush each with a little egg glaze, then using the back of a knife, score with lines to create a lattice pattern. 5. Bake the biscuits for 12 minutes until golden. Cool in the tin on a wire rack, then remove the biscuits and leave to cool completely on the rack. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy! |

Sounds rather like the 'Galettes du Cotentin' I sometimes buy. Do you ave a recipe for the shortbread-like 'sablés'? Sinc ethey contain egg, they are more nourishing than shortbreads.
