Langues De Chat/Cats Tongue Biscuits

Langues de chat or cats tongue biscuits are shaped like a cats tongue-long and thin. These biscuits have European origins, which country is still debated and unknown. They are a delicacy and go well with your evening tea or coffee. I made two batches, piped on parchment paper and one on silpat. The silpat one came out well. I used the recipe of Chef Iginio Massari. Do give this biscuit a try! Its amazingly easy and delicious!
