Recipe for around 14 rolls, each 7 cm long.

1. Breton shortbread

  • Butter - 150 g
  • Sugar - 140 g
  • Salt - 40 g
  • Egg yolks - 60 g
  • Ground almonds - 70 g
  • Flour - 200 g
  • Baking powder - 20 g

Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the salt, egg yolks, ground almonds and the flour sifted with the baking powder. Leave to set in the fridge, then roll out to a thickness of 3.5 to 4 mm.
Cut into 7 x 4 cm rectangles and bake in a fan oven at 160 °C for 10 to 12 minutes, with the oven door open.

2. Strawberry jelly concentrate

Make two tubes 2.5 cm in diameter by rolling up two sheets of Rhodoid joined together lengthways with adhesive and sealed at one end. Mix the sugar into the strawberry pulp and the gelatine mixture melted in the microwave.
Pour into the Rhodoid tubes and chill in the freezer. Set aside for assembly.

3. Pistachio biscuit

Using a mixer, beat together the sifted icing sugar, ground almonds, eggs, egg yolks, softened butter, cornflour and pistachio paste. Fold in the egg whites, beaten with the sugar.
Roll out the biscuit dough into a 40 x 60 cm rectangle, 2 cm thick, and bake in a fan oven at 180 °C for 15 to 20 minutes.
Note: This biscuit recipe makes around 120 strips of log, each 50 x 3 cm.
