1670 Marquise de Sable French Butter Biscuit Advent Calendar, 450g

The 1670 Marquise de Sablé French Butter Biscuit Advent Calendar counts down to Christmas with crisp, pure-butter shortbread in four traditional recipes. Behind the 24 doors is a random selection of plain butter, all-chocolate, raspberry-chip and salted-butter-caramel-chip biscuits, with a seasonal message behind each window. Is this your first time buying from us?

Made in Sablé-sur-Sarthe, France, the 1670 recipe uses more butter and eggs than La Sablésienne’s standard shortbread, with no baking powder. It’s a gift for someone who would choose biscuits over chocolates, or a way to make a daily December ritual of your afternoon tea or coffee.

• Four shortbread recipes, including raspberry and salted-butter-caramel chips
• 24 doors with French biscuits and seasonal messages
• Butter-and-egg-rich recipe from 1670
• French family producer

Meet the maker: La Sablesienne

There's something special about a really good French butter biscuit. In the little town of Sablé-sur-Sarthe, they've been making them for centuries, with a recipe said to date back to the court of Louis XIV. La Sablésienne keeps that tradition alive, baking delicate, buttery petits sablés that are wonderfully crisp and crumbly.

In 2003, Amélie Loret Scherrer took over La Sablésienne, bringing her family's pastry-making heritage and a love of beautiful things. The biscuits are still baked on metal trays and gathered by hand, then tucked into gorgeous illustrated tins inspired by French art and history. They're the sort of tins you'll want to keep long after the last biscuit has disappeared.
