Viennese whirls


So this week Jenny at @SewConfident asked me to make a nice little biscuit to go with an eco friendly tea bag as a way to be more greener. After a lot of brain storming I decided to go with a classic tea biscuit and make a box Viennese Whirls, here's the recipe. 

190g soft butter
75g icing sugar
1/2 vanilla pod
Pinch of salt
35g egg white
225g plain flour

Preheat the oven to 160*c. Place the butter into a mixer and beat well with a paddle or use your hands and a wooden spoon. Beat until pale and light. Add in the icing sugar, salt, egg white & vanilla and mix until fully incorporated. Slowly fold in the plain flour. Place a star nozzle into a piping bag and pipe onto grease proof paper any shape you desire. Bake for 20 minutes at 160*c and leave to cool on a wire rack. 

Alternatively, you can dip then in chocolate or dust with icing sugar or ever a little cinnamon sugar.
