Ingredients

115g butter

55g caster sugar

Few drops vanilla essence

150g plain flour, plus extra for dusting

25g cornflour

1 egg white

225g icing sugar, sifted

1tsp vanilla extract

Yellow food colouring

Method

1
Preheat oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Put first 5 ingredients in food processor. Mix to form a dough. Tip out, knead into a ball. Wrap in foil and chill for 30 mins.
2
Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Roll out the dough to the thickness of a £1 coin. Stamp out 12 shapes using an 8cm flower cutter. Use to line a 12-hole cupcake tin. Bake for 15-18 mins. Cool in the tin before lifting onto a wire rack.
3
Lightly beat the egg white until fluffy. Beat in the icing sugar a little at a time until smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Spoon the icing into each biscuit case, leaving a little aside for the ‘yolks’. Set for 10 mins.
4
Colour the rest of the icing yellow and spoon a ‘yolk’ into the centre of each tart. Leave to set for 45 mins.
