This snack biscuit is a speciality of the island of Mayotte.
Ingredients:
200g butter
1.35kg plain flour.
1 tin of sweetened condensed milk
2 sachets of baking powder
350ml of lukewarm water
3 sachets of vanilla sugar.
2 eggs
120g of sugar
Method:
Melt the butter either in a saucepan over low heat or in a microwave.
In a mixing bowl whisk together the condensed milk and 350ml water then work in the sugar, vanilla sugar and baking powder. Add the melted butter and eggs then whisk everything together to combine.
Sift over a little flour then fold with a spatula to combine. Keep on adding the flour a little at a time and working it in until all is incorporated. Work the dough until smooth and homogeneous.
Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead for 6 minutes, adding a little flour to prevent sticking.
At this point roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1-2cm, ensuring that the biscuit dough is not too thin.
Take a biscuit cutter to shape the dough into pretty patterns. Grease a baking tray with butter and carefully transfer the biscuits onto this. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown in colour.
As soon as they emerge from the oven dust with icing sugar then set on a wire rack to cool completely.
