These biscuits have been sold for a long time in France and are associated with the kids tea time or “Goûter”. I got the idea of making them from SorbetCitron, who had been looking for the perfect Petit Beurre recipe for a long time. She came across this kit with the cutter, stamp and recipe book to reproduce the biscuits from our childhood. She was very happy with the results so I bought the kit too and have been making these a couple of times already!

200g sugar
200g salted butter
125g water
2g salt (a pinch)
500g flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
Method
- Place the sugar, butter, water and salt in the TM bowl and cook for 3 min/60C/speed 2
- Cool down the mixture by mixing 20 min/speed 2, Measuring cup OFF until the bowl is just luke warm to the touch
- Add the flour and baking powder and stir 30 sec/speed 3.
- If some flour is still not combined, stir it in with the spatula (being careful of the blades).
