Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup (230 g) shortening or butter
  • Vanilla, to taste
  • 1 cup (200 g) white granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp (10 g) baking powder
  • 2–3 cups (250–375 g) flour

Method

  1. In a large bowl, beat eggs lightly to break the yolks as one would for scrambled eggs, then mix in the shortening. If using butter, soften it slightly beforehand by heating it a little. The shortening/egg mixture should be loose.
  2. Mix in the sugar, then add the salt to the liquid mixture.
  3. Add the baking powder, then slowly add the flour as needed to reach a proper doughy state (in essence, able to be shaped without sticking to one's hands too much). You may not need all of the flour, or you may even need a little more based on your eggs and how closely you measured.
  4. Make balls and place onto a greased or parchment-lined pan then into an oven heated to 175°C (350°F), and let bake for between 15–20 minutes.
