Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 15 grams powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and caster sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy. This should take 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix again to combine.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt in a separate bowl.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing gently until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. If the dough feels too stiff, allow it to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes.
Pipe small finger-shaped biscuits (about 2-3 inches long) onto the lined baking tray, leaving some space between them for spreading.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn golden.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool completely on the tray for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once cooled, lightly dust the biscuits with powdered sugar for a delicate finish.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
