Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190 °C and line a tray with baking paper.
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and cardamom.
Add the cold butter cut into cubes and rub it in with your fingertips until the texture is sandy.
Mix in the sugar, then the beaten egg, and quickly knead until you have a uniform dough.
Roll the dough out to 1 cm thick and cut sticks about 6 cm long, then place them on the tray.
Brush with a little egg if you like, scatter with almonds, then bake for 12 minutes until the edges are golden.
