Pierre Herme Sable Vennois

Salam bersiaran,

Lama pulak bercuti dari bersiaran minggu ni ek, bukan apa mood nak menulis tu makin berkurangan pulak sebab my mom dah balik Malaysia and my husband pulak outstation seminggu. Tinggallah kitorang 4 beranak di kala cuti2 Easter ni. Sungguh melankolik lah mood jadinya.

Neway, I baked this cookies because of the name of the creator ie. Pierre Herme also known as the king of macaron. Dapat resipi ni dari blog Shirley. Basically rasa biskut ni ala2 macam Viennese Fingers yg pernah buat dulu tapi penggunaan Fleur de Sel tu yang beri sedikit kelainan. Ada a lil bit of saltiness that  merries well with the butter.

Kalau kat Malaysia memang payah nak jumpa Fleur De Sel ni. Kat London ni pun katanya supermarket2 yg high end je yang jual benda ni tapi yang ni ah kak guna Flake Seasalt jenama Maldon (After some research, ada yg gunan jenama ni as substitute). Actually Fleur De Sel ni pun memang sejenis flake sea salt so kalau agak2 terjumpa yang lebih kurang sama tu, boleh lah guna sebab kalau pakai garam biasa rasanya lain sikit.

Ok, let's check the recipe :-

Source : Shirley

Ingredients :-

95g               Unsalted Butter

1g                 Fleur de Sel

1/8 tsp          Vanilla paste (the recipe originally asked for 2-3 pinches of Vanilla powder)

40g               Powdered Sugar

15g               Egg White

115g             All purpose flour (I bumped this up to 125g for this post)

Method :

1. Preheat oven to 180C.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk unsalte butter with Fleur de Sel until creamy.

3. Add in powdered sugar and whisk until homogenous and creamy.

4. Add in egg white. ( The mixture may curdle a little but it will smoothen out after flour is added.

5. Add in flour and mix until well combined.

6. Scoop batter into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe circles/wreaths on a lined baking tray.

7. Bake at 180C for 10 -12 mins or until golden brown.

Overall, the texture and taste of the cookies memang sedap. Kengkadang rasa macam dia melt je dalam mulut pun ada and I baked this for my mom untuk buat kudap2 dalam flight hari tu and another 1 box for the kids and rasanya tak sampai 1/4 hari dah habis.

Selamat mencuba.
