Method

1. Mix all the ingredients except the oil and egg, rubbing the butter into the dry ingredients with your hands until it absorbs them
2. When the mixture looks like sand, add the oil and egg and bring the dough together without kneading... you can add 2 tablespoons of milk only if the dough does not come together well
3. Continue bringing the dough together without kneading until you get a smooth, cohesive dough
4. Place it in the fridge long enough to chill well before starting to work with it.. It is essential to work with cold dough, taking out only the portion you need to roll and leaving the rest in the fridge until it is time to roll it out.. if you feel the dough has warmed up in your hands while working, bring it back together and return it to the fridge until it cools again
5. Roll out the dough on a silicone mat or between two sheets of kitchen plastic wrap used for pastry and sweets
6. Roll the dough thin, especially if you want to sandwich two petifor pieces together with the filling of your choice (jam, chocolate, caramel...).. As for cookies, the piece should be twice as thick as petifor
7. Shape the pieces using special cutters
8. Bake the petifor for only 10 minutes at 170°C
   Timers: 10 min
9. Let the pieces cool before decorating and filling... You can place jam between two petifor pieces or chocolate ganache or caramel (using a spoon or a piping bag). You can also coat one side of a petifor with caramel and then dip it in chopped nuts without sandwiching it with another piece.. It’s all up to your preference!
