The wet summer’s shelter

Heat becomes heavy and the dark sky blends itself with the landscape’s pale green…
We ran home: our petit Trianon and a wet sprinkled summer.

Trianons

Makes 30:

Vanilla dough:
150 g butter
100 g icing sugar
½ g vanilla extract
2 g salt
50 g egg
50 g almonds, powdered
250 g wheat flour, sieved

Cream butter and sugar until smooth.
Add vanilla, salt, egg, almond and finally the flour.
Roll out the dough on parchment paper.
Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Chocolate dough:
150 g butter
100 g icing sugar
2 g salt
50 g egg
30 g almonds, powdered
250 g wheat flour, sieved
25 g cocoa

Cream butter and sugar until smooth.
Add salt, egg, almond and finally the flour sieved with the cocoa.
Roll out the dough on parchment paper.
Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Assembling:
Roll out the doughs until 7 mm thick.
Cut rectangles of dough (30×4 cms).
Put one chocolate rectangle over one vanilla rectangle brushing with egg yolk between layers.
Repeat this process 3 times.
Refrigerat for 1 hour.
Cut 5-7mm thick slices.

Pre-heat the oven to 180º C.
Place in a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes.


Suggestion: With the remaining dough I’ve put together 2 layers and rolled to make a cilinder. I’ve refrigerated and sliced it as the trianons.

    Those photos are perfect. I love the composition with all the stripes. And these cookies are exactly what I am craving even though it is not raining here right now. Sables – anytime!
