Hello :)
Today I will set a recipe that is in our "Portuguese" TMX 31 basic recipe book!
These biscuits are so delicious and tender - they melt on the tongue!
It is impossible that someone don't like them ;)
Very nice to tea or coffee or .............nothing :)
TENDER SAND BALLS
(http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr64/melgaco/DSC_0124.jpg)
300 grams of flour
100 grams of sugar
1 packet Vanilla sugar (2 teaspoons Homemade) (see recipe below) or use a teaspoon of vanilla extract
200 grams of butter
1 pinch of salt
fine sugar to roll the cookies
Mix all ingredients in the TMX at Level 6 / 30 seconds.
Form Small Balls (I make allways 16-18 gram Balls)
Put in preheated 180 º oven for approximately 15-20 minutes ( each oven is different - the biscuits should not be too dark!) Now, take the ball from the baking sheet and roll in sugar and let cool on a grid!
Mhhhhhhhhhhhh - delicious
Hope you enjoy it

katesjoy - Vanilla sugar recipe from the EDC - 200g sugar, 1 vanilla bean cut into few pieces. Put sugar and vanilla bean in a jar and leave for 2-3 days to dry out. Transfer vanilla bean and sugar to the TM bowl and pulverise for 15 seconds on speed 10.
Nay-nay - They turned out perfect - like shortbread. The kids and hubby had a good laugh at the name too but enjoyed them. Thanks.
cookie - I made these using a teaspoonful of vanilla paste. They are lovely and very easy to make.

I so want to make these. One question the Vanillasugar - you have recipe to homemake?

lol ok found Vanilla sugar recipe. Got no vanilla beans. I suppose using Vanilla essence wont work as well?

Of course, the essence serves perfectly!
I hope it goes well!

VHJ you are right. They DIDN'T last long. DH took the last few to car club today.
Thank you for the kind words re the photo. I find the light etc seems the best on my lovely jarrah table. The colours were just right for this one.

I'm loving the table. I have a soft spot for anything made of wood, it has soooo much character.
-
We love wood too Cathy. DH was a woodwork teacher, but prefers to work with metal-sensible ugh??
All our furniture is jarrah.A bit was inherited from my parents that they had made when they retired to the city. When they died we went to the same place and got the rest made that we needed. It is really beautiful Most is darker than that table as that was the last thing we had made and the guy that made it had trouble getting first quality jarrah for the top of the table so had to take what he could get. It's heavy heirloom stuff. I love it.

Cookie you are so lucky to have such beautiful furniture. In an earlier life I trained as a furniture designer, and still lust after good honest timber furniture. Enjoy every moment you spend with it.

Good honest timber furniture is sooo hard to find. I'm always looking for real tongue and groove, and checking to see if the inside of drawers are stained, and whether the back is solid or just cheap plank. It's amazing how lazy some people are, and then try and charge high prices for half a job! Shop owners don't like it when I open all their drawers....
-
Good on you Cathy. You are so right, they put cheap junk on the back or in the drawers. We had a wardrobe made by this guy and it is a 3 door one and one side is all shelves. (it was originally to put Mum's clothes in when she was in the nursing home)
All the shelves are all jarrah too. He is pricey but you get what you pay for and he is a real craftsmen and has some beautiful designs.
