Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the icing sugar and softened butter until you get a crumbly dough.
- Gradually add the milk, the vanilla seeds and the citrus extract, kneading until the dough is soft and smooth.
- Shape small balls about 2 cm across, then flatten them lightly between your palms.
- If you want to fill them, place a pistachio in the centre before closing the ball.
- Lay the candies on a tray lined with baking paper and chill for 30 minutes so they firm up.
- Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie, then dip each candy with a fork and set it on the baking paper.
- Let them harden completely at room temperature, then store in an airtight box in a cool place.
Variations and tips
Rum szaloncukor. Replace the citrus extract with a spoonful of rum for a more grown-up flavour.
