The cake is made according to the cookbook of the Russian Empire. The life of the author of this book was full of adventures. She was a supporter from the movement of the Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi to supporters of women's equality in the Russian Empire. Her character was noted by famous Russian writers. Her image was captured in paintings by such Russian artists as Vasily Vereshchagin and Valery Jacobi.
The author of an old book noted that this is Georges Zand's favorite cake. George Sand (years of life: 1804-1876) was a French writer of the romantic movement. Her work was popular and in demand in the Russian Empire of the XIX century. For example, her work was mentioned in three works by the Russian writer Ivan Turgenev: the short story "Faust" (1855), the novel "The Noble Nest" (1859), the novel "Fathers and Children" (1862). And George Sand appreciated Turgenev's work. She wrote that in the cycle of short stories "Notes of a Hunter" (note of the project publication years: 1847-1851), he created images that helped to better understand Russia.
Attention:
- According to the original recipe, ¼ spoonful of orange-colored powder was added to the dough to calculate the dough of 6 eggs. A Russian cookbook from the early 1910s explained that orange blossom water is made from orange blossoms. We find confirmation in the dictionary, "fleur d'orange" is translated from French as "orange blossom". Orange blossom is a snow–white orange blossom. These flowers were often found in ancient cookbooks as an ingredient or flavor.
- According to the original recipe, the dough was laid out on a baking sheet in an even layer and baked. Then the prepared semi-finished product was cut into small cubes and served. The cookies were baked in molds by the project.
