Step by step recipe

1Begin by preparing your rolling utensil: wrap a round pencil in aluminium foil.

Set aside.

Heat 100 g butter over low heat until just melted.

Sieve together 100 g flour and 150 g icing sugar.

7Pour small dollops of batter about 6 cm (2 inches) in diameter on a baking sheet covered with a non-stick sheet or cooking parchment. You will need to work in batches.Cigarettes Russes (Piroulines) : etape 25
8Bake for about 15 minutes. When the biscuits are brown around the edge and still pale in the centre, they are cooked.

If they cook unevenly (this depends on your oven, and is the case with mine), turn the baking sheet round as they finish cooking.

9Now comes the tricky bit: rolling. Open the oven door, leaving it running, and lay a sheet of cooking parchment on the door.

Lift a biscuit off the baking sheet with a palette-knife and turn it upside-down onto the paper. Roll it up immediately around the pencil you prepared earlier.

Remarks

You can flavour your biscuits by adding ground almonds, citrus zest, or a little orange or lemon juice to the mixture.
For thinner biscuits, use a little less mixture and spread it out into a circle with the back of a tablespoon or palette knife. This will make a thinner biscuit, but it will be a bit more difficult to roll up.
