Breton butter biscuit recipe

Breton butter biscuit recipe

My grandma from my mother side comes from Brittany. Learning how to make Breton recipes is my way of getting closer to my grandmother and I always loved Breton butter biscuits.

Unfortunately my grandma had no recipe to share with me this time. I had to look in my old French cooking books and magazines until I found it, the recipe, in a magazine from 2011, Cuisine de grand-mère, a wonderful home cooking magazine.

My grandmother wasn’t baking so much biscuits and we usually had over-cooked marmalade covered with granulated sugar instead. Tasted a bit like a fruit paste. Sometimes she was making us crèpes, far breton or riz au lait. I was lucky to have a grandma who cooked so well and so much for her granddaughter.
