  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine 75g of softened butter with 35g of caster sugar and mix well until pale and fluffy.

    Add 1/4 tsp salt and mix gently, adjusting the texture as needed.

  3. 3

    Sift 140g of cake flour and add it to the butter mixture.

  4. 4

    Mix carefully until no flour streaks remain and the dough becomes smooth and uniform.

  5. 5

    Place the dough in a plastic bag, press firmly to shape it into a rectangle with a thickness of about 1.3mm, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  6. 6

    Remove from the plastic bag, cut into long, thin strips, and use a bamboo skewer to create decorative patterns on the surface.

  7. 7

    Bake in a preheated 150°C oven for approximately 35 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.

Tips

Using caster sugar will give you a smoother texture. You can use either salted or unsalted butter, but if using salted butter, reduce the amount of salt slightly. Using cultured butter will enhance the flavor even more.
