Petits Beurres

Ever since I got my personalized cookie cutter set, I've been wanting to make use of it. Tartelette had posted about hers and how she couldn't find a petits beurre recipe that came close to the original, so she makes use of a shortbread recipe instead. For me, I have never tasted one but I decided to try out chocolate and zucchini's recipe. And I love it! Except that it was on the salty side. Is it suppose to taste salty? I have no idea. Maybe someone can enlighten me. But for my own preference, I would half the amount of salt to 1/2tsp.

I love the little mousse!!
Well, Petits Beurre are made with salted butter so they do have a tendency to have a little salty taste to them, but it should be barely noticeable. I guess I am never satisfied having tasted the original ones...spoiled me :)

tartelett - Wow, thanks for your visit. :) Yes, I suspected there wud be a little salt on it but this one was rather salty on my palette. Haha, I couldn't find the mouse I was looking for, so it had to be a purple one. ;) By original, you mean homemade or factory-made? ;)
