description
A super classic pastry, with a pleasant fresh lemon aroma.
preparation
step 1
First let's remember to take butter and egg whites out of the fridge at least half an hour in advance, so that we can work more easily and not compromise the success of the recipe.
step 2
As soon as the butter has become soft, place it in a bowl and whip it with electric whips for a few minutes, adding the icing sugar and the grated rind of half a lemon. This operation should lead us to have a white and very creamy mixture.
step 3
We continue to let the whips go by reducing the speed and gradually add the sifted flour and the egg whites at room temperature, alternating between them.
step 4
Place the dough inside a sac à poche with a smooth nozzle of about 1.5 cm and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
step 5
We light the oven at 200 ° (static) and meanwhile on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper we form the biscuits: it will be enough to make regular sticks (otherwise the cooking will not be uniform) thanks to the help of the sac à poche (they must all be the same, wide 1.5 cm and 6 cm long).
step 6
Bake at 200 ° C in a static oven for about 11 minutes (or until the complete browning of the edges of the biscuits). As soon as they come out of the oven they will still be very soft, but don't worry because they will become crunchy as soon as they cool down!
