Note

As the dough is rich in butter, there’s no need to butter the moulds.
You don’t need a food processor, just a bowl and a whisk.

Preparation steps

Step 1
Place egg yolks, caster sugar and vanilla sugar in mixer bowl.
Beat until the mixture whitens.
Step 2
Add the flour and sifted cornstarch and whizz until the mixture sands, i.e. forms small pieces of dough.
Replace the whisk attachment with the leaf and gradually add the butter, cut into small pieces.
Blend until the butter is perfectly incorporated.
Step 3
Collect the dough and form into a ball.
Shrink-wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
Step 4
Cut out small pieces of dough and place them in the mould indentations.
Bake at 170 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.
