Ingrédients
- 60 g de jaunes d’oeufs (environ 3 oeufs)
- 130 g de sucre
- 150 g de beurre mou
- 200 g de farine

Instructions
In the bowl of a food processor, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale.

Pour the dough onto cling film and roll into a circular sausage. Store in a cool place for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Divide the slices among the muffin cavities.
Bake 25 minutes.
Carefully invert the palets onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Continue baking for a further 5 minutes to brown.
