Recipe
Courtesy - @SupremeFlour
INGREDIENTS
- 200 g / ⅓ cups Cake Wheat Flour, plus extra to dust
- 100 g Castor sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 100 g Unsalted butter, chopped
- 1 Medium egg
- 5 ml / 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Icing:
- 1 Egg white
- 500 g Icing sugar
RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
Put the flour, salt, castor sugar, butter, egg and vanilla
into a food processor; pulse until mixture comes together (if you don’t have a
processor, rub butter into dry ingredients until it resembles fine breadcrumbs,
then stir in the egg and vanilla using a blunt-ended cutlery knife). Tip onto a
work surface and bring dough together into a disc, then wrap in cling film and
chill for 30 minutes.
Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Lightly flour a work surface, then
roll out the dough until 5 mm thick. The thickness will determine how many
cookies you will get from the dough.
Stamp out hearts, rerolling trimmings as needed. Put hearts
on a greased baking tray and bake for 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool
for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the icing: Place egg white in a large bowl, slowly
sieve icing sugar into the bowl, beating well in between. Whip until icing is
thick and creamy. When it is ready it will be glossy and white.
Working quickly, decorate your cookies by spreading the
icing over the cookies or drizzling it over the top. Place on a rack to set.
Continue icing the remaining biscuits. You might need to
slightly adjust the consistency of the icing with water as you go. Allow to set
before serving.
