French shortbreads “Petits écoliers”
l Switch language for recipe in French l
Today I’ll give you a recipe for a Battle food, a challenge created by Carole from the fabulous blog Sunrise Over Sea and organised for this 37th edition by Julia from the very greedy blog Les Cookines. For her theme, she had the great idea to choose “From the industrial to homemade“, subject that I like overall!
Julia asked us to reproduce an industrial product of a known brand into a homemade product with 100% non industrial products.
So I chose for this battle food, the french shortbreads “Les Petits Ecoliers”, this little jagged biscuit covered with a generous chocolate bar ! I have made these biscuits with dark chocolate and milk chocolate to meet the taste of everyone and remember sweet childhood memories !
As a reminder, or for those who discover it , the Battle Food is a culinary challenge between food lovers ( bloggers or not) around a theme chosen by the godmother or godfather . He or she also sets a date when the recipe must be published. There is nothing to gain, the aim being simply to share . After the publication of all recipes , godmother or godfather choose the next organiser.
Place now to the recipe of my Petits Ecoliers.
French shortbreads “Petits écoliers”
For 20 shortbreads
Preparation time: 40 min, Time to rest: 3h, Cooking time: 12min
[ingredients title=”Ingredients”]
- 200g flour
- 80g butter
- 80g sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 50 ml milk

[/ingredients]
To realise these Petits Ecoliers, I used these pastry tools:
PREPARATION
Shortbreads pastry
- Melt the butter with sugar and milk.
- Stir and let cool , stirring occasionally to prevent the butter solidify.
- Sift flour and baking powder.
- Form a well in the center and pour the butter mixture . Mix with a wooden spoon.
- Roll the dough into a ball.
- Film the dough and let it rest in the fridge for 3h. I made the dough the day before but you’ll have to take out the dough one hour before to use it.
Chocolate bar
- Melt the chocolate bar in the microwave.
- Place the chocolate mould on a tray.
- Fill the mould with the melted chocolate.Tap the tray to evacuate the air bubbles and fill the holes with chocolate.
- Let cool in the fridge until the chocolate hardens (about 15 minutes).
- Take out the chocolate from the mould and cut the chocolate bar.
- Repeat this opération until the end of the chocolate.
- Put the chocolate in the fridge until used.
Shortbreads preparation
- On a floured surface , roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a 3mm layer.
- Cut the dough with a cookie cutter.
- Form a ball again and repeat the operation.
- Place the shortbread on a plate recovered by a baking paper and bake for 12 minutes in a 170°C preheated oven until golden brown.
-
Let cookies cool on a rack .
- Pour some melted chocolate in the center and drop a chocolate bar on the biscuit. Seal the chocolate bar with the biscuit .
- Keep the Petits Ecoliers in a cool place before to offer or enjoy them with friends!
