Punishments or Punitons - Poilane
Adapted from a recipe used at the Boulangerie Poilane on rue du Cherche-Midi and found on pages 4-5 in Dorie's book.
Dorie notes that you can brush them with egg wash and then sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon sugar, or poppy seeds before baking.
Susie mixed by hand and made one sheet: half plain and half with vanilla sugar (ground up vanilla bean mixed with sugar).
Susie's notes: "I don't find these to be very sweet or very buttery. The vanilla sugar helps. Plus they could also be sandwiched with ganache or jam.
"I remember having a sample at Poilane (we had eaten a delicious lunch next door at their annex, the Cuisine de Bar) in September of 2008 and thinking the same thing -- they are rather boring."
Address: 8 rue du Cherche-Midi (6th arr.)
