Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 80 g rice flour (I used brown rice flour)
  • 80 g flour 00
  • 15 g potato starch
  • 70 g sugar
  • 70 g butter, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 lemon, the zest
  • jam of your choice
  • icing sugar

Instruction

  • In a medium bowl sift the flours, potato starch and baking powder.
  • In another bowl work together the butter and the sugar until foamy and smooth.
  • Add the egg and mix well.
  • Add vanilla, lemon zest and then the sifted flours.
  • Work the dough quickly until it forms a "ball".
  • Wrap it in plastic and let rest in the fridge for 1/2 hour.
  • Pre-heat oven to 180°C (350°F)
  • After the resting time, take the dough out and place into a cookie press.
  • Choose the cookie disk or disks that you most like and press the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Repeat until you have no more dough in the press, changing the disks to change the shapes.
  • At this point, if you want you can put a little dollop of jam in the middle of your flowers.
  • Cook on middle rack in the oven for about 13-15 minutes or until golden brown (in a convection oven probably 10 min).
  • Move to the top rack for the last 5 minutes so they're evenly cooked.
  • Take them out of the oven and let cool on a rack.
  • Sprinkle with icing sugar and enjoy.
