To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook cardamom shortbreads using 8 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Cardamom Shortbreads:
- Get 8 cardamom pods
- Get 200 g butter
- Prepare 25 g ground rice
- Take 240 g plain flour
- Make ready 70 g icing sugar
- Get 1 beaten egg
- Take demerara sugar, for rolling
- Prepare vanilla sugar for dusting
Instructions to make Cardamom Shortbreads:
- Lightly crush the cardamom pods to release the seeds, discard the shells and put the seeds into a mortar. Crush finely with the pestle.
- Place the butter, ground rice, flour and icing sugar in a food processor and mix until you have a dough.
- Turn the dough out onto the work surface and push with your hands into a roll, about 3-4 cm in diameter. Wrap in plastic film and place in the fridge for an hour. Chilling is an important stage, don't rush it, otherwise the shortbreads will spread too much when they're cooking.
- Take the roll out of the fridge and remove the film. Brush with beaten egg and roll in demerara sugar. Place back in the fridge for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 150°C/Gas 2. Take the roll out of the fridge and cut into thin slices, about 5mm thick, and place on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. You could cut the roll in two and store the other half in the fridge for baking another day. I used half the roll and it made 13 biscuits.
- Sprinkle a little vanilla sugar over the top of the biscuits and bake for around 15 minutes on a low shelf. I think the secret of getting these shortbreads crisp is to make sure you don't cook them too quickly, and that they bake to a pale golden colour.
- Cool on a wire rack and don't store in a jar or a tin until they are completely cold.
