Canestrelli

Ingredients

  • 100g flour,
  • 100g potato starch or cornstarch,
  • 120g butter,
  • 50g icing sugar,
  • 2 hard-boiled egg yolks,
  • 1 pinch of salt,
  • 1 lightly beaten egg white,
  • icing sugar to taste

Preparation

Hard boil the eggs and let them cool completely before separating the yolks. In a bowl, sift together the flour and potato starch (or cornstarch). Make a well in the center, then add the icing sugar, carefully sieved hard-boiled yolks, room temperature butter, and vanilla extract.

Quickly mix everything by hand, then roll out the dough with a rolling pin.

Cut out cookies about 1 cm thick using appropriate molds. Brush the surface with egg white and bake in a preheated oven at 150 °C. Bake for approximately 20 minutes at 150/170 °C, being careful not to let the cookies darken too much. Remove from the oven and dust with icing sugar.
