Recipe: Sape

I grew up on a very simple repertoire of recipes.  My mum had a menu Monday to Sunday, so each night you knew exactly what you were eating.  But she made fabulous desserts.  I'm sharing a very simple recipe for biscuits, called "sape" (pronounced "sha-peh").


100g sugar
100g hazelnuts or walnuts
170g flour
200g butter
2 whole eggs


Throw all the ingredients together and mix



Grease a tray


Spoon dough into moulds


Depending on your oven bake for 10-20 minutes at 180C


Monty says hello :)




Sprinkle with icing sugar and voila!  Wonderful with tea, coffee or hot chocolate

  1. ooo nice Nigella tins!

    I never knew what my mum was going to cook, and when I would ask her she would pretend she didn't know either. I've started doing this to my boy :P

  6. haha good point MrsAriGold - sape means paws, so I guess it's more of a paw than a shell? I can't find the proper moulds anywhere so I use the madeleine tray
