After a gentle kneading and a resting period, the Compagnons-Pâtissiers roll out the shortbread dough, then cut it manually into many small rounds. They are then placed one by one, with great care, on a baking sheet. About ten minutes in the wood-fired oven at low heat is enough to serve crisp and melting shortbread. Some people like our "light" shortbread, others prefer it golden, and still others crunch and fall for the "dark" shortbread, so dark that we bake some especially for them. Your pleasure is ours!

The little butter shortbread biscuits are undoubtedly part of the history of the Poilâne house. It must be said that the Poilâne family is partly from Normandy, a region rich in butter and eggs, the main ingredients of the cookies.

It was Lionel Poilâne who officially named the little home-made shortbread "Punitions" (the name is registered) in memory of the ritual his great-grandmother had established. This grandmother, a bit mischievous, used to ask her grandchildren to come and get their "punishment" when they came back from school. The little ones would come running, and the grandmother would open her hand on some delicious shortbread she had just made. In the memory of the Normans, we have never met children who liked punishment so much!
