  4. Set the dial to Closed lid"Closed lid" . Using the interval setting Dough mode"Dough mode" , add enough egg white through the hole in the lid to make a firm paste that can be rolled by hand. Note: you may not need the full quantity of egg white.

  5. Roll the mixture into balls the size of large hazelnuts. Roll each ball in icing sugar to coat thickly and place on baking tray.

  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until well puffed and cooked through. Allow to cool on tray and then transfer to wire rack.

Tip

You could easily double and perhaps even triple this recipe. Serve as a petit four with coffee, after dinner or as part of a special morning or afternoon tea. These pretty little biscuits also make lovely gifts - package them in cellophane bags, in little treat boxes or in paper cases (mini muffin cases work well).

    We made these as a Christmas present and all worked well. We only needed 1 egg white. My husband really enjoyed them. Thank you for the recipe.

    Gosh these a delicious biscuits and look good too. Although I cut down the sugar to 200g they were still too sweet. I will try with 130 g sugar next time. The extra icing sugar also adds to the sweetness. These were so easy I will be making them often.  Cooking 7

    Lovely thanks. Had difficulty rolling them as they just seemed to melt in my hands but just did little heaps off the end of the spoon then dumped them right into the icing sugar. Very tasty. Thanks again.
