Born to be eaten

Petit Beurre is a small rectangular cookie that was invented in 1886 by Louis Lefèvre-Utile in Nantes. This cookie, quickly became a true classic in French country, with millions of packages sold every year throughout the world. Le petit beurre is a very crispy biscuit, not too sweet and not too rich. Its signature silhouette has dents all around the edges, tiny holes on the surface as if pricked by a fork, and a small browned ear at each corner.

The best part of the recipe is that it has no egg in it, so it is perfect for people with egg-allergy. Filled with strawberry buttercream, they are great with a cup of tea!

{Strawberry petit beurre}

Prep time: 30 min

Cooking time: 10 min

Yield: 40 double cookies

Ingredients

Petit beurre:

• 200 g granulated sugar
• 200 g salted butter
• 125 ml water
• 500 g flour
• 1 tsp baking powder

Strawberry filling:

• 200 g strawberries, washed
• 150 g butter, room temperature
• 150 g confectioners’ sugar

Cookie cutter:

• I used this Miffy Rabbit Cookie Cutter and Stamp

  Directions

  1. Prepare the petit beurre dough. Place, sugar, butter and water in a medium saucepan, and melt, stirring until smooth. Let cool the mixture a bit.
  2. Add flour and baking powder and stir until combined. Make two balls, wrap in cling film and leave in the fridge for at least 3 hours
  3. Preheat oven to 350º F (180 ºC). Flour your worktop, and roll the dough to a very thin layer (max. 3 mm). Using a cookie cutter, cut out shape and place them on a baking tray lined with paper parchment
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool before filling
  5. Whilst the cookies are cooling down, prepare strawberry buttercream. Place strawberries in the bowl of a small food processor; process until pureed.
  6. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce mixer speed and slowly add strawberry puree; mix until just blended. Add more sugar as necessary to make it thicker.
  7. Use a piping bag to fill one cookie, and sandwich with another cookie. Repeat until all the cookies are done. Store in an airtight container in the fridge

How to print on paper napkins

good to know!

from: http://asubtlerevelry.com/how-to-print-on-paper-napkins

Tis’ the season for BBQ’s and outdoor gatherings. When serving outdoors I often use paper napkins, but ones that fit my style are sometimes hard to come by. So, of course, I make my own by printing on them with my inkjet printer. They are great to use for ourdoor parties, and you can print any saying on them you’d like.

To make the printed paper napkins, start by creating a saying in any program on your computer. Then load your printed napkin into an inkjet printer. Note: you must leave the napkin folded once to have the correct thickness to run through the printer. Print and enjoy.

PS. You can also use your printer on candles and eggs.
