Method

  1. Cream the butter with the icing sugar until smooth, then add the eggs.

  2. Gradually add the starch and baking powder to form a soft, light dough.

  3. Shape small pieces and bake at a very low heat until cooked through without colouring (they stay a pale white, hence the name).

  4. Leave to cool completely before serving, as they are very crumbly.
