Volker Marecek
Executive Chef
Ingredients
- 250g butter (softened)
- ¾ cup icing sugar
- ½ cup cornflour
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp powdered chai flavouring
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
Instructions
1. Line an oven tray with non-stick baking paper.
2. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter with the icing sugar.
Mix in all other ingredients until smoothly combined.
3. Roll the dough on a floured surface to 1 cm thick. Cut it into finger shaped pieces. Then place a few centimetres apart on the prepared tray and prick with a fork. Chill for half an hour (I usually pop the trays in the freezer).
4. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool on the tray for 5 minutes then carefully slide off onto a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
