The product
Madeleine de Souvré, better known as the Marquise de Sablé, made the little shortbread discover in July 1670 at the court of the Grand Condé. She introduced a multitude of small round cookies to the king’s brother who was conquered by these sweets. The little shortbread was born. It is this story that we find in the good taste of our real little natural shortbread with pure fresh butter.
The recipe
La Sablésienne makes real Sablé-Sur-Sarthe Sablé, round, jagged, crunchy and pure fresh butter. The recipe has been passed down from generation to generation in the town whose name it bears. It is today recognized as a specialty of French culinary heritage.
In 1670, the Marquise de Sablé was the first ambassador of these little shortbreads to the court of the Grand Condé. Petit Sablé is made by our biscuit factory, using natural ingredients whose raw materials come mainly from the West of France: pure fresh butter from Pays de la Loire, flour from Sarthois millers, eggs from free-range chickens. .
Le Petit Sablé is available in different recipes:
- With chocolate chips: made with pure cocoa butter
- With Guérande salt caramel chips
- With fruit nuggets (apricot, raspberry, lemon): locally sourced by a producer in the south of France
- All chocolate: made with cocoa powder for an intense chocolate taste
- Tonka bean: seed from South America, elongated in shape and black in color. Presents aromas of almond, caramel and vanilla, even coffee.
La Sablésienne offers two types of shortbread recipes: La Sablésienne shortbreads and 1670 Marquise de Sablé shortbreads.
These two recipes are distinguished by the quantity of butter and eggs, higher in the 1670 recipe. In addition, it does not contain baking powder, which gives the shortbread a less rounded shape than La Sablésienne shortbread. In the La Sablésienne recipe, the egg is applied to the shortbread to brown it, while in the 1670 recipe, the egg is integrated into the dough, thus giving the shortbread a slightly more melting texture than the other recipe. is crunchier.
