Ingredients
- 130gr soft unsalted butter from the French Market shop
- 200gr icing sugar
- 160gr sifted flour

- Knead the butter until soft and creamy
- Add the sugar and mix in thoroughly to the butter
- Sift the flour into the sugar and butter, blend until mixed in
- Beat the egg whites until very stiff, the tops must form peaks
- Add the stiff egg whites into the flour, sugar, butter mix and stir in until the mixture is smooth
- Use a teaspoon to drop small mounds onto the baking tray, leave space around each one so that the mixture can spread when it cooks
- Bake for 10 minutes until the edges of the biscuits just start to turn brown
- Remove baking tray from oven
- Immediately take a clean pencil, roll each biscuit while still warm around the pencil, to form a cigarette shape
- Remove from pencil and allow to dry
