Succès Biscuit
Meet the succès biscuit: a study in elegant simplicity and exquisite texture. At its heart, it is a meringue, but not just any meringue. Enriched with finely ground almond meal, it bakes into something truly special—a delicate disc that is shatteringly crisp on the outside, yet tender and almost chewy within. If you know and love the unique shell of a perfect macaron, you will recognize this delightful contrast instantly. But the journey doesn't end here. This sublime biscuit is more than a standalone treat; it is the essential foundation, the building block of a legendary dessert. Mastering it is your first step towards creating the revered Lenôtre hazelnut succès, a masterpiece of pastry architecture.
