Petit Beurre Biscuit Recipe
One of the most beautiful things French people has brought to the world is the petit beurre biscuits. Petit beurre is a delicious biscuit and it is a very valuable food in Turkish cuisine. Mosaic biscuit cake and biscuit cake are the first petit beurre recipes that come into my mind.
While making these very popular desserts, some kind of regret caused by using processed food with additive contents haunts you. The purpose of this homemade petit beurre biscuit is to eliminate this discomfort. The mosaic cake recipe I gave above is made with these homemade biscuits and the result is excellent.
The recipe uses ice cold water. It is enough to place a cup of water in the freezer half an hour before starting to make the biscuits.
Is the cookie cutter necessary?
I have used a special cutter for petit beurre biscuits but any round, rectangular or square cookie cutter will do it. You can either use a jar lid or a similar household equipment or cut the dough with a knife.
You can store biscuits in a jar with a lid for 2 weeks at room temperature and freeze up to 6 months.

- Manal: 2 tablespoons butter is approximately 30 gram. Is there a typo in the ingredients ? June 18, 2020 5:38 am
- Kevser: No, there is no typo. If there is a rule that says 1 tbsp is equal to 15 grams, then you can use 4 tbsps or just take the gram amount into account. We don't have such a rule or knowledge where I live and I just measure what I use while writing down my recipes and with my tbsps 1 tbsp comes 30 grams👍🏻 June 18, 2020 7:47 am
- Manal: Thank you so much for your prompt reply! We don’t use that rule either. In US baking, a tbsp of butter is about 15 grams, so I thought you were following the same convention. June 18, 2020 10:24 am
- Aābid K.: For exactly how much time do we gotta bake it for? doing it for the first time, don't wanna overcook it haha. August 22, 2021 8:38 am
- Kevser: It really depends on your oven, you should observe while they bake. You can remove them from the oven when you see the colour on the pics. August 22, 2021 4:08 pm
- Anna: And how much in grams is 2 cups of flower please? Is that tea cups? January 18, 2022 6:15 pm

- Basile: Hello! I made them twice, but they become really hard after cooking... Why? September 7, 2022 8:26 pm
- Kevser: You could have had higher expectations. They are not like store bought ones, not like rock hard but it's normal that they are a little bit stiff. If they are rock hard, you could have not preheat the oven completely, you could have baked them more than enough or you could have used too much flour. September 9, 2022 12:25 pm
