Viennese Fingers
My mum used to make them for us when we were younger and she'd sandwich them together with jam and dip the tops in chocolate.
This is the first attempt at them and I couldn't believe how easy they were to make.
Viennese fingers
makes about 20
ingredients
- 200g butter, softened
- 80g icing sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 teaspoons vanilla
- 250g plain flour
- 200g chocolate
method
- preheat oven to 180C/160C fan, line two baking trays with paper
- beat butter and icing sugar together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes
- add yolks one at a time and beat until well combined, add vanilla and continue mixing
- sift in flour and continue beating just until combined
- spoon mixture into a piping bag with a large start tip nozzle and pipe about 6cm lengths onto trays
- bake for about 10-12 minutes until lightly golden
- allow to cool then transfer to wire racks
- place chocolate into a metal bowl over a saucepan of boiling water and stir until chocolate has melted
- dip tops of biscuits into chocolate and sprinkle with nuts or sprinkles
I'd love to hear if you make them, they do look great and would make great Christmas cookies for friends and neighbours.
If you are interested in more cookie making techniques and are in Melbourne, I'll be running a Christmas cookie workshop here.

Yum! My dad loves these too, I might have to make him a some..have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteYummy!! I'd love to try giving these a go. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteOoh yes they do look so delish Cathie! Thanks for the recipe. I'd love to try them. Wonder if they'd work with rice flour instead of the wheat? I'm trying cut out wheat quite a bit lately and have been making a few nice things by substituting the wheat flour.
ReplyDeleteSo wish I lived close enough to do your class!
Have a fab weekend. xoxo
These are one of my fav bickies that I buy while out for coffee but I've never thought to make them. Thank you for the receipe & inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame I live on the other side of Melbourne, I would of loved to attend your class.
they look delicious! I really need to do some more baking soon. Corey's birthday is next week so cakes will be made.
ReplyDeleteI was all excited about doing this until I got to those 2 fateful words - piping bag. I've tried & tried but cannot master this instrument of the Devil. My last attempt ended in tears & I chucked the thing into the garbage bin in a fit of pique, mixture & all!

ReplyDeleteYumadoodles my sweet friend...I will be giving these a go for sure! xoxoxo

ReplyDeleteYum.... that's exactly what I need with my cup of tea right now.
ReplyDeletehmmmmmmmm and I hit the print me button...You are so clever!Merci xx
ReplyDeleteViennese fingers! My favourite! These look uber delicious Cathie. I always buy one from the local bakery in the High Street near my Dad's house. They have been making them since I can remember and they are still just as good and melt in my mouth. This post has brought back memories for me. I never buy in Australia as they always have jam (?). Now I will make my own - Thanks Cathie!
ReplyDeleteHave a super Sunday
