Breathless with the news of a Liberace bio-pic in the works (Starring Michael Douglas! Directed by Steven Soderberg!! Matt Damon as Scott Thorson!!!) a celebration was in order. So I found myself drawn once again to Liberace Cooks! As told to Carol Truax, and their recipe for Sables, the delicate French butter cookie.
(If you're not familiar with Liberace's culinary expertise check out this earlier post on his sashimi recipe.)
These Sables are as thrilling as Lee's famous glissandi racing up the key board. Using cooked egg yolks was a new one to me — yet more validation of Liberace's cooking cred. I'm guessing it's the cooked yolks that make them so wonderfully crumbly, melting on the tongue as softly as a stolen kiss from a secret lover.
Sables are totally appropriate for Christmas cookie duty as well. Choose your own path with the food coloring.
I already envisioned serving these treats on an especially swishy little plate garnished with a fairy's bouquet of pastel sugar rose buds. Hmm… the recipe calls for orange zest, yet I feared the Sables would be a little drab. A dot or two of orange food coloring took care of that. And heck, why stop there? I'm certain these sparkly tutti frutti sugar sugar crystals would have gotten the Liberace Seal of Approval.
