Place the egg yolks and sugar into the bowl of your stand mixer with the whisk attachment on and start beating on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
4 egg yolks, 6 oz sugar
Change the whisk to the paddle attachment and incorporate the softened butter on medium low speed. Mix until you obtain a soft paste (about 2 minutes).
7 oz butter
Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder and sea salt. Continue to mix on medium low speed until you get a soft dough (about 2 minutes) Scrape the bowl when needed. IMPORTANT: Do not over mix, you will not obtain the same texture once baked.
9 1/2 oz all-purpose flour, 4 tsp baking powder, 1/16 tsp sea salt
Bake for 20 minutes at 340F/170C, until just beginning to turn golden around the edges. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your biscuits from 18 minutes). NOTE: They will be soft out of the oven, that's normal as they will harden when they cool down.
Once your French Buttery Biscuits (Palets Breton) are out of the oven, let them cool down completely in the mold before unmolding directly onto your cooling rack.
NOTE: Wash your mold, then dry it in your turned off oven to remove any drops of water.
CHOCOLATE DECORATION
