Ingredients
- 250 grams All Purpose Flour
- 130 grams Pure Ghee/Clarified Butter
- 100 grams Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Clear Vanilla Essence
Method
Using a hand mixer, cream together the pure ghee and powdered sugar till it turns light and fluffy and almost doubles in volume (for about 5 minutes). To that, add the vanilla essence and give it a little mix. To the flour, add the salt and mix it together.
Now add the flour to the ghee-sugar mix in three additions, mixing on a low speed (stir) till just incorporated. Knead the dough gently and bring it together till it forms a soft ball. Now either weigh 16 grams or take a tablespoon full and roll to make a ball. Lightly flatten and then top with a dried cherry piece. Bake at 300F for about 15 minutes.
