Ingredients

  • 100 g unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 50 g icing sugar
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or essence
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 60 g cornstarch
  • Green gel food colouring
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Whisk together the butter and sugar until creamy.
  • Add the egg white and incorporate it by whisking again.
  • Add the vanilla and mix.
  • Add the salt, flour and cornstarch and mix in using a spatula.
  • Add a bit of food colouring, mix it in with the spatula and assess if you need more. A little goes a long way.
  • Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle, the opening of mine was ⅓ of an inch in diameter.
  • On a baking tray lined with baking paper or a silicone mat, form the wreaths using the piping bag, forming a circle. If the joint looks a bit shabby, you can gently press on it with your finger to shape it.
  • Sprinkle with sprinkles ;)
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for 10-12min or until dry but not golden.

Notes

Even though I added the equivalence in cups, I highly recommend that you use grams for all measurements. This recipe is very sensitive to small changes.
