While I like to remain faithful to the original French brand, other companies now also make similar biscuits, and it is hard to ignore the Swiss companies which use good-quality Swiss chocolate … I know, because I have become a connoisseur of sorts when it comes to these biscuits 😉 Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 5,876 articles in the main category, and specifying |topic= will aid in categorization. No, this cookie has nothing to do with American Granola. It’s another two-layered biscuit, with one side covered in chocolate. What can we say? The French really seem to enjoy the combo since LU Granola ranked as the #3 most popular cookie in France in 2021, with over 1,600 thousand consumers, just barely losing to BN biscuits.

I have also seen Pétit Beurre and Pétit Écolier sets sold in tourist shops in Paris, should you find yourself there one day. I created a gluten and dairy free (and non-gmo, healtier sugar) version. Just replaced some of your ingredients one on one. It turned out fabulous. When you are ready to bake, bring the dough to room temperature first so that it will be easier to work with. This might take 30-60 minutes, depending on how warm the room is.

Lefèvre-Utile was founded in Nantes, in 1846 by Jean-Romain Lefèvre. [3] [5] Originally he sold biscuits from the English factory Huntley & Palmers and then he began his own production. The name comes from Lefèvre and his business partner and wife, Pauline-Isabelle Utile. [6] Their initials were first utilized by Alfons Mucha for an 1897 calendar ad for the "Lefèvre-Utile Biscuit Co." That same year the company hired Firmin Bouisset to create a poster ad. Bouisset, already noted for his work for the Menier Chocolate company, created Petit Écolier ("the Little Schoolboy") which incorporated the LU initials. Bouisset's poster was used extensively and the image was embossed on the company's Petit Beurre line of biscuits. Within a few years, the success of the logo resulted in the company becoming known as LU. [7] Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia. Note: I found that the cookie cutter that comes with this set doesn't work with this dough, which is why I used a simple 2" round cookie cutter for the base instead. But the top of the silicone mold is worth it. Repeat until you have 12 "tablettes". Set the finished chocolates in the fridge until you are ready to use. Place the dough (still between the two sheets of parchment paper) on a baking tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Cut out shapes from the dough using a fluted rectangular cookie cutter, and place the cut shapes onto the lined baking tray.

I didn't mean to review the Oreo this week, it just sort of happend, due to my intended biscuit not being on the shelves in Sainbury's. So lets take a look at what the great all American biscuit, (naturally it thinks its a cookie) can offer the rest of the free world. The chocolate toppings can also be made the night before, ready to be used the next day. Although, the advantage of making this recipe during winter in Europe is that our balcony serves as an extra fridge with unlimited space, and the chocolate toppings take no time to set when placed outside in the sub-zero temperatures 🙂

Important caveat #1: LU, as a brand overall, is (unsurprisingly) much more recognizable and has a more devoted following than any single one of the products it puts on the market. In France, children - as well as parents and grandparents! - have been enjoying the typical French biscuit for a long time now. Another version topped with chocolate, named Petit Ecolier (schoolboy cookie) is also highly appreciated. Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them. Le Petit Chocolat combines simplicity and charm by pairing the crunchy Petit Beurre biscuit with an indulgent layer of milk chocolate. This biscuit features the famous ‘Petit Ecolier’ (little schoolboy) figure, moulded into the chocolate and designed by celebrated French designer, Firmin Bouisset So what is the overall effect of all of this tea time treat technology? Well its possibly the closest thing in the biscuit world to a salad. Having said that the younger members of staff destroyed their ration of review biscuits at an impressive rate and even asked nicely for more, so it appears that the Mikado has lost none of its party time magic.Palmito is the brand name for LU’s palmiers. Palmier is a type of French butter cookie made with puff pastry. They’re light, crunchy, and not overly sweet, even though they’re dusted with granulated sugar. In 2021, LU Palmito ranked as France’s #22 most popular cookie brand.

Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the fridge and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Place the flour, sugar and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Slowly add the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, and beat on low speed until everything is incorporated into a soft dough.

The delectable biscuits are available in four varieties, including Le Petit Chocolat, Le Petit Beurre, Le Petit Biscotte, and Le Petit Citron. The LU brand combines French love and passion – created by two pâtissiers who fell in love over their shared passion for baking and a desire to make the most delicious biscuits. The varieties were first produced in France during 1886. Due to the resting time required, I recommend making the biscuit dough the night before using, and leaving it to rest in the fridge overnight. First thing the next morning, take the dough out of the fridge to let it soften and come to room temperature. Should you find yourself with a lot of leftover melted chocolate, now is a good time to use any silicone chocolate moulds that you might have. Otherwise, I would suggest making some chocolate mendiants by dolloping large circles of the melted chocolate onto some baking paper on a baking tray, and sprinkle over some chopped dried fruit and nuts of your choice, or simply some coloured sprinkles (hundreds and thousands). Place in the fridge to set. You will have some chocolate leftover - this will act as the "glue" for the chocolate on the cookie.

So I decided to make it and finally stumbled upon your post. Before that I mostly found digestive recipes. But it wasn’t what I was looking for. Some specialty stores will sell these in special baking sets and which are a good idea because the cookie cutters and chocolate moulds will be the right size for each other. Encapsulating the romance of the French, bakers Monsieur Lefèvre and Mademoiselle Utile put the first initials of their surnames together to create LU. This celebration of passion remains in every LU biscuit made since 1846, transporting consumers to a sun-dappled square in rural Provence.
