ALMOND SHORTCRUST BISCUITS

470g pastry flour
180g confectioner's sugar
4g fine salt
60g almond flour
240g butter
100g eggs

Mix the dry ingredients with the very cold, cubed butter until it resembles crumbs.

As soon as you obtain an even dough, stop mixing.

CHOCOLATE SHOOTS

AN NYANGBO 68%

Temper the NYANGBO 68% couverture.

Pipe some threads of chocolate of different sizes and widths onto Valrhona Signature 3D texture sheets or acetate paper so that they look like reeds.

Before it sets, sprinkle the ends with finely ground cocoa nibs. Leave to set.
