Butter biscuits (petit beurre type)
Description
Butter biscuits of the petit beurre type are thin, rectangular cookies with a light brown, evenly baked surface and delicate wavy edges. They have a pleasant buttery aroma, subtle sweetness, and a crispy, crumbly texture that slightly crumbles when bitten into, leaving a delicate, buttery aftertaste. Nutritionally, they are a source of easily digestible carbohydrates and energy, contain a moderate amount of fat (including saturated fat), and a small portion of protein; they are low in fiber and micronutrients, so it is advisable to consume them in moderation as a snack providing quick energy. They work perfectly as a base for desserts (crusts and crumbles), an addition to creams, an afternoon accompaniment to tea, or as an ingredient in breading and cold desserts. They should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and strong odors; under such conditions, they maintain their crunchiness for several weeks.
