Sablé (biscuit)
Introduction '''Sablé''' is a French round shortbread cookie that could have originated in Sablé-sur-Sarthe in Sarthe.
History According to the letters of the Marquise de Sévigné, the cookie was maybe created for the first time in Sablé-sur-Sarthe in 1670.The French word ''sablé'' means "sandy", which is the French term that takes the place of the English "breadcrumbs". Generally, the baker begins the process by rubbing cold butter into flour and sugar to form particles of dough until the texture resembles that of breadcrumbs or sand.
Recipe Among the most well-known sablé recipes are those of La Mère Poulard, and the cookies of Saint-Michel and Pont-Aven.Sablés can be flavoured with almonds, lemon, parmesan, green pepper, or orange zest.
