Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Add the egg whites to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Sift the all-purpose flour and salt together, then gradually fold into the wet ingredients until well combined and smooth.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
Pipe 6cm (about 2.5 inches) lines of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each biscuit as they will spread while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the langue de chat biscuits cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container once completely cooled to maintain their crispness.
