Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat the softened butter with the sugar until smooth and creamy, then mix in the egg, yolk, vanilla and lemon zest.
- Add the flour, salt and milk, then knead quickly until you have a smooth dough, without overworking it.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes, wrapped in cling film.
- Roll out small logs about 1 cm thick and 10 cm long, then shape them into twisted sticks or rods.
- Arrange them on the sheet, brush with egg white and sprinkle with pearl sugar.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
Variations and tips
Cinnamon version. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for a warmer flavor.
Using what's easy to find. Pearl sugar can be replaced with regular powdered sugar, less crunchy but just as good.
