Orange Blossom Navettes
Orange Blossom Navettes are traditional French cookies originating from Marseille. These boat-shaped pastries are particularly associated with the Feast of Candlemas and are often enjoyed throughout the year. The key ingredient that gives these cookies their distinctive flavor is orange blossom water, which adds a delicate floral aroma. The dough is typically made with flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and a pinch of salt, then flavored with the orange blossom water. After shaping, the cookies are baked until golden, resulting in a slightly crispy exterior and a soft interior. They are a beloved part of Marseille's culinary heritage and are often served with tea or coffee.
