Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 70 grams Brazil nuts (finely chopped)
- 1 large Egg white
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to the butter mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
Fold in the finely chopped Brazil nuts, mixing until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and shape them into stick shapes approximately 1 cm in width and 5 cm in length. Place the sticks onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 cm of space between each.
Lightly whisk the egg white with a fork and brush it onto the tops of the sticks to give them a shiny finish during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the sticks are lightly golden on the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the sticks to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Brazil Nut Sticks as a snack with tea or coffee, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
