🍪 Breton butter cookies
Ingredients
- 200 g flour
- 150 g soft salted butter
- 100 g sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of flaky salt
Method
- Beat the soft butter and sugar to a cream, then add the yolks.
- Fold in the flour, baking powder and salt without working the dough: overworked, it turns hard.
- Shape a log, wrap it and chill 2 h.
- Cut slices a good centimetre thick and set them in rings or well apart on the tray — they spread a lot.
- Brush with egg yolk and score with a fork.
- Bake 15 min at 170 °C: they should stay pale, barely golden at the edges.
