Breton butter biscuit recipe

My grandma from my mother side comes from Brittany. Learning how to make Breton recipes is my way of getting closer to my grandmother and I always loved Breton butter biscuits.

Unfortunately my grandma had no recipe to share with me this time. I had to look in my old French cooking books and magazines until I found it, the recipe, in a magazine from 2011, Cuisine de grand-mère, a wonderful home cooking magazine.

My grandmother wasn’t baking so much biscuits and we usually had over-cooked marmalade covered with granulated sugar instead. Tasted a bit like a fruit paste. Sometimes she was making us crèpes, far breton or riz au lait. I was lucky to have a grandma who cooked so well and so much for her granddaughter.
