Ingredients
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
Step 3
Add the egg whites one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Make sure each egg white is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Step 4
Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, blending until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure the biscuits remain tender.
Step 7
Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe small strips, approximately 5-6 cm long, onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave enough space between each strip as they will spread slightly during baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
