Place a sieve over the glass bowl, sift in 170g all-purpose flour and 2g baking powder. Stir with a wooden spoon into loose crumbles, then wear disposable gloves and press the dough together by hand until smooth without visible dry flour.

Watch out

Must use baking powder, not baking soda. Knead just enough to bind the dough

over-kneading will develop gluten and make the cookies lose their crispiness

Place the dough onto plastic cling wrap, roll and shape it into a long cylinder about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Use a dough scraper to cut the log into about 2 cm thick round pieces, yielding around 20 portions in total.

warningStay safe

Always wear oven mitts when removing the hot baking tray from the oven; never touch the hot metal tray barehanded to avoid severe burns.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Place baking tray on the middle rack and bake at 180°C for 16 to 18 minutes until cookies puff up, crack slightly on top, and turn golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
