 Sablé |
Sablé is a French round shortbread biscuit, originates in Caen, in the province of Lower Normandy.
History
According to the "letters" of the Marquise de Sévigné, the biscuit was created for the first time in Sablé-sur-Sarthe in 1670.
The French word sable means "sand", perhaps relating to these soft, delicate, crumbly texture biscuits and their golden colour.
Recipe
Among the most well-known Sablé recipes are those of La Mère Poulard, and the biscuits of Saint-Michel and Pont-Aven.
Sablés can be flavoured with almonds, lemon or orange zest.
