Ingredients
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 55 grams confectioners' sugar
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy, but not stiff peaks.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and confectioners' sugar to the bowl with the egg whites and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Sift in the all-purpose flour, whisking gently to combine, ensuring no lumps form.
Step 5
Melt the unsalted butter on low heat or in the microwave and let it cool slightly. Gradually fold it into the batter, ensuring a smooth and consistent mixture.
Step 6
Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
Step 7
Pipe the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in thin strips, around 2 inches long. Leave some space between each strip as they will expand slightly during baking.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Step 10
Once cooled, store the biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness. Enjoy them with your favorite beverage!
