Linguas De Veado - Melt in the mouth Wine Biscuits recipe

These sweet little crunchy biscuits are called “Linguas de veado” in Portuguese.   Quite interestingly, when translated into English it means; “Butter cookies in the shape of a large tongue”.  However, I made them round in shape so that they are easier to pop into the mouth and crunch away in seconds!

Super easy to make and they all will vanish in a jiffy.

What you need:

Egg whites	3
Icing sugar	120 g
Margarine or butter (melted)	120 g
Plain flour	120 g
Salt	3 pinches
Vanilla	1 tsp

Let’s make:

Set the Oven to 160 C

Cream the batter

• Clean wipe a wide bowl perfectly dry to beat the egg whites
• Pour the egg whites and beat until frothy.  This will take  2- 3 mins
• In a seperate bowl beat butter and icing sugar until creamy
• Now add the butter and sugar cream to the egg whites
• Add Plain flour
• Add salt and vanilla
• Give a good stir and bring all together using a wooden spoon or a spatula

Pipe onto the tray and into the oven

• Pour the batter into a piping bag
• Pipe disc shapes on to a non-stick baking tray or a tray lined with parchment paper
• Stick in the oven for 15 mins
• or the edges of biscuits turn into a lovely golden colour
• Take out of the oven and let the biscuits cool down on the tray itself for 20mins. This will make them go crusty and crunchy.

• Give a little push with a spatula and the biscuits will slide off
• Gobble down three at a time!
