Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (gas mark 6).
  2. In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a spatula until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the egg, vanilla and a pinch of salt, and mix.
  4. Stir in the cornmeal, the wheat flour and the baking powder, without overworking the dough.
  5. Shape small balls the size of a walnut and flatten them slightly with a fork on a tray lined with baking paper.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden.
  7. Leave to cool completely: the biscuits firm up as they cool.

Variations and tips

Cinnamon flavour. Add cinnamon to the dough for a warmer taste, ideal in winter.
