Prep and Cook Time: about 1 1/2 hours. Notes: Look for pearl sugar in specialty food stores. Store twists airtight for up to 3 days. Ingredients:
1 cup (1/2 lb.) butter, at room temperature |
1 cup granulated sugar |
2 hard-cooked large egg yolks |
1 large egg, separated |
1 large egg |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup pearl or coarse decorating sugar (see notes) |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add hard-cooked egg yolks, uncooked egg yolk, uncooked whole egg, and salt; beat on medium speed until blended. Stir in flour.
2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; cover with plastic wrap. On a lightly floured board, roll each ball under your palm into a 6-inch-long rope. On a 12- by 15-inch baking sheet (you'll need three total), twist each rope into a figure eight and press ends lightly together; space twists about 1 inch apart. Beat remaining egg white to blend; lightly brush over twists. Sprinkle with pearl sugar.
3. Bake in a 350° oven until twists are golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes; switch pan positions halfway through baking. With a wide spatula, transfer twists to racks to cool.
4. Note: Nutritional analysis is per twist.
