Ingredients

Method
|
|
175 g unsalted butter
90 g caster sugar
  |
Place the butter in a bowl of the stand mixer equipped with the paddle attachment. Add the sugar and beat at high speed until light, pale and fluffy. It can take approx. 10 min.
|
|
280 g pastry flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
¾ tsp salt
150 g chopped walnuts
    |
In the meantime, add baking powder, bicarbonate soda and salt to the flour. Mix, and then add chopped walnuts. Combine all ingredients.
|
|
3 egg yolks
  |
When the egg mixture is fluffy, lower the speed and add egg yolks, one at a time, until they are blended well.Add the flour and walnut mixture gradually, one tablespoon at a time until it forms a smooth dough. |
  |
The dough will be thick and quite dry but easy to handle. Preheat the oven to 165ºC/ gas mark 4. Line the baking sheets with baking paper.
|
  |
Take a tbsp of the dough and form a ball.
|
|
1 small egg for the egg wash
     |
Flatten slightly the ball and place on the baking sheet.
Top it with the half of the walnut or press with a fork to make a mark. Brush with the egg wash. Continue to work with the dough. You will get about 30 biscuits. |
  |
Bake 20-25 min until golden brown. Remove from the oven, transfer to the cooling rack and then serve.
