Magical Mondays – Viennese Fingers

Since, this is our first Magical Monday and no requests came in so I thought I just might post whatever I feel like. :D So today I’ll be telling you how to make your own Viennese Fingers.

These are very popular across the globe as tea-time classics. You won’t see them anywhere in Lahore, according to my limited knowledge and if you do, do share it with me :)

These biscuits literary melt in your mouth, have that creamy touch and they make your effort worth-it. Well, this doesn’t mean that they are difficult to make, on the contrary, they are super easy. Lemme show you know.

All you need

White Butter/ Unsalted butter————- 250 g
Icing sugar——————————— 70 g
All-purpose flour————————— 225 g g
Vanilla Essence—————————– 2 tsp
Corn flour———————————- 75 g
Food color———————————- optional

How it’s made

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 170 C.
  2. Sift corn flour and flour together and set aside.
  3. In another bowl beat butter and icing sugar together for a minute.
  4. Add food color, I added pink and beat for another one minute.
  5. Add vanilla essence and beat to mix.
  6. Add sifted flour+corn flour into the butter mix and mix with a wooden spoon till every thing binds together nice and easy.
  7. Pipe with your icing gun fitted with a star tube on a lightly greased baking tray and bake  for 12-15 minutes. Slightly brown around edges.
  8. Once done, coat each edges one by one with melted chocolate and show some love with sprinkles, taa-daaaa :D

Please Note

  1. Once out of the oven they are pretty fragile, so handle with care and leave them to cool on the baking tray for 3-4 minutes before removing them.
  2. Don’t make fingers too long or they’ll break once you try to pick them up from the baking tray.
