🍰 Desserts

Pipeable butter cookies in the blue-tin shapes, the gift-box classic. Flaky, buttery pastry around a filling that actually tastes of the season. Serve warm with cream, custard or a scoop of ice cream.

Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Salt1/2 tsp
All-Purpose Flour2 cups
Sugar1 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 cup, chopped

Instructions

1
Cube the cold butter and return it to the fridge while you measure the rest.
2
Cut the cold butter through the flour, drizzle in ice water, and gather the dough without kneading.
3
Rest the dough, wrapped, in the fridge for at least thirty minutes — relaxed dough will not shrink.
4
Layer in the butter with the all-purpose flour so every slice gets a full cross-section.
5
Bake hot until the pastry is bronzed and crisp; a cooling spell keeps the filling from running.

Chef's tip

Resting a custard or pudding overnight deepens the flavour and sets a cleaner slice.
