Chocolate and Fleur de Sel Sablés, Recipe from Pierre Hermé
- 1 1/4 cup (6 oz) all-purpose flour
- 5 1/4 oz dark chocolate 70% cocoa (Valrhona)
- 1 oz unsweetened cocoa powder
- 11 Tbsp butter, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup (4 1/4 oz) packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (1 3/4 oz) fine sugar
- 1/2 tsp Fleur de Sel
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Chop the chocolate coarsely.
- In a large bowl, sift and mix together the flour, cocoa and baking soda.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a hand mixer), beat the butter until soft and creamy. Add the two sugars, the salt and vanilla extract and beat for 2 min or so.
- Add the flour and chocolate, and mix together until all the flour is absorbed. Do not overwork the dough, just enough until all the flour is well incorporated.
- Divide the dough in two halves and shape two logs, 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and place them in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for about 2 hours (I even left them longer as I went out).
- Take the logs out of the fridge and remove the plastic wrap. Make slices 1/2 inch wide and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cook for about 11 to 12 mns in a preheated oven at 330 F. Remove and let cool on a rack (the sablés are fragile and will only get hard when cooling).

Sablés au chocolat et à la fleur de sel, recette de Pierre Hermé
- 175 g de farine
- 150 g de chocolat noir à 70% de cacao (Valrhona)
- 30 g de cacao en poudre non sucré
- 150 g de beurre, à température ambiante
- 120 g de sucre brun
- 50 g de sucre fin
- 1/2 càc de Fleur de Sel
- 1/2 càc de bicarbonate de sodium
- 1 càc d'extrait de vanille liquide
- Hachez le chocolat grossièrement.
- Tamisez et mélangez la farine, le cacao et la bicarbonate de sodium dans un saladier.
- Travaillez le beurre en pommade (dans un mixeur à pied si vous en avez un, ou un mixeur à main) et ajoutez les sucres, le sel et la vanille. Mélangez bien pendant 2 min avant d'ajouter les farines et le chocolat en morceaux. Travaillez juste assez pour que toute la farine soit bien incorporée.
- Façonnez deux boudins de 4 cm de diamètre et enveloppez-les dans du film étirable. Mettez au frigidaire au moins 2 heures (j'ai même laissé plus longtemps car j'étais sortie entre-temps).
- Sortez les boudins du frigidaire et enlevez le film étirable. Découpez des tranches d'1 cm d'épaisseur et disposez-les sur une plaque de cuisson recouverte de papier sulfurisé (la pâte est friable, c'est normal).
- Mettez au four préchauffé à 170 C pendant 11 à 12 mns. Retirez et laissez-refroidir sur grille (attention les sablés sont fragiles et ne durcissent qu'une fois qu'ils refroidissent).

Rose, thank you!

Ed, thanks a lot! Unfortunately, I am not spending a lot of time in Melbourne this time, although I love the city (I visited it three times already). Hopefully another time! But many thanks!
Peabody, you are too funny! I guess yes, Mother Nature was pretty good to me.
Carolyn, I am glad I could bring back nice memories to you, I love ABel Tasman NP too, we also kayaked there last year, did a 4 day trip in the park, sleeping overnight, kayak and walk. Loved it. I already hiked the place 3 times, I guess I must love it! But not this year as we head to Milford Sound instead.
Ivonne, thank you!
Alhya, ahahh, le diable, en quelque sorte!
Bron, yes I am bummed to be missing you too! But hopefully another time as we seem to come back to NZ quite often ;-)

Soho, les deux peut-être ;-)
Jeff, yes pretty cool, eh?
Anita, thank you!

Courtney, oh very nice, hope you like them.
Helen, ahah oui tu dois avoir de la fièvre! C'est un bon signe, cela dit.
Christine, thank you! not our car in the first pic but a car we digged!
Rowena, I hope so yes!!! P. is like you, he LOVES to observe birds for hours! Could stay there undisturbed until one finally moves.
Christelle, ah le ski, c'est super aussi. Profites-en bien. Et merci.
Connie, thank you! I think the chocoholic in you would love these, yes!
