Shortbread Angels
- Preparation time:
- 25 mins plus 20 mins chilling time
- Cooking time:
- 15 mins
- Makes:
- 18 small angels
Ingredients
- 180g unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup pure icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp rosewater essence
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1/3 cup cornflour
- Extra flour, for kneading
- Pure sifted icing sugar, to dust
Method
1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Beat butter, sugar, vanilla and rosewater in the small bowl of an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add flours and mix with a wooden spoon to combine.
2. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Form dough into a disc, wrap in baking paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes or until firm.
3. Roll out dough between 2 sheets of baking paper until 3mm thick. Using a small angel cutter, cut angels from dough. Use the end of a chopstick to make a hole through the top of each angel. Put angels on prepared baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes or until light golden. Stand trays on a wire rack until angel biscuits are cold.
4. Thread a length of ribbon through the angels collectively or a single piece of ribbon through each angel and dust with icing sugar.
