Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Start by roast 125 ml walnut kernels: put on a baking sheet and put in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes.

Walnut should dry without coloring.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Let cool, then mix to get a powder.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

In a food processor bowl, pour 129 ml butter and 125 ml icing sugar, start at low speed and kneed until homogeneous mixture.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Add 390 ml flour and 1 egg, and continue to kneed until homogeneous mixture.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Make a kind of ball with the dough.

Stage 6 - 2 hours

And put it between 2 plastic film sheets to make a kind of thick circle. Put in the fridge for at least 2 hours or a night, otherwise 30 minutes in the freezer.

We do that because dough is very very soft at ambient temperature.

Stage 7 - 10 min.

Preheat your oven at 360°F (180°C).

Spread the dough, not too thin, on the working surface, and cut in circles...

Stage 8

...that you lay on a baking sheet.

Stage 9

You can also make square shapes using a roll.

Stage 10 - 25 min.

Put in the oven and make cook for about 25 minutes, watch for color because short bread should not be too cooked otherwise they are dry.

Let cool on a wire rack.

Remarks

You can make this recipe with almonds, hazelnut or other dry fruits of your choice
