Honestly i dont know about this popular biscuits which is quite famous in South France especially the cities and villages around Montpellier. This Zezette de Sète is a trademark biscuits and this biscuits is made with easy ingredients available easily in your pantry except the White wine. Actually the addition of white wine plays an important role in this biscuits, though the alcohol gets disappears while baking. Needless to say that this White wine biscuits makes an excellent evening snacks to have with your favourite beverage.Usually flavored with vanilla extract, some bake their Zezettes even with Orange blossom water, however this biscuits are very simple to make if you want try something different from your usual bakes.
The preparation method of making biscuits starts by mixing the sugar and white wine initially which is followed by olive oil,baking powder and flour to form a smooth dough. Once the dough is formed, small balls are rolled out of the dough and they are rolled again to form a oblong shaped biscuits which is later rolled in sugar and have an incision in the center. This biscuits are introduced during 1970's when there was a huge immigration especially from all the parts of Mediterranean. Later this biscuits became a local product and now its quite famous all around the world. The particularity of this biscuits is its completely egg free, butter free and completely vegan which is quite rare in French cuisine.
