INGREDIENTS

360g (3 cups) of flour
150g (3/4 cup) of sugar

Lemon (zest)

170g (3/4 cup) of butter

1 egg

2 egg yolks

Vanilla extract

Red food coloring

METHOD

1. In a bowl add the flour, sugar, and lemon (zest) and whisk. Add the butter and mix with your fingers to dissolve. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla essence and knead to obtain a compact dough. Split the dough into half.

2. At the one-half add the red food coloring and knead until the dough absorbs the food color. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. Wrap the other half of the dough in cling film and transfer it to the fridge for 30 minutes.

4. After time has elapsed cut the shortcrust pastry into strips and create the rolls with both the classic shortcrust pastry and the red one.

5. Braid together a red and a white strip and then fold one of the two edges downwards to obtain cane biscuits.

6. Transfer them to the baking tray covered with parchment paper. Bake at 180°C/360°F for 15 minutes.

7. Serve candy cane biscuits on a serving dish and enjoy.
