Sieve both the flour and the corn flour into the bowl and mix well. Put a small amount of flour on your working surface and place the dough on this. Shake a little flour on top and roll out to about quarter inch thick. Prick with a fork and cut into rounds with a cutter or, if you want one large shortbread round, pinch the edges with thumb and finger all round.

Tiramisu - by Maria del Campo Ingredients: A tub of mascarpone 4 tablespoons of sugar 4 eggs Method: 3 espresso cups of espresso Make the espresso and pour it into a wide flat 1 pack of sponge fingers dish, letting it cool down a little (you will need Amaretto and possibly brandy as well to dip the sponge fingers in this later on, so have dark/bitter cocoa powder that in mind when choosing the dish) Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the egg whites. You need them extra stiff as they will provide the slightly airy texture to the crème later on. While there is no need to rush, it is advisable to work as quickly as possible after this – avoiding any lengthy breaks to make sure the beaten egg-whites will not become liquid again. Placing them in the fridge after beating them might help. Beat the egg-yolks. The yolks will become creamy and whiteish. Then add the sugar and a dash of Amaretto and continue beating. After a while, add the mascarpone and beat until everything is nice and well mixed. Add more Amaretto to taste – but keep in mind that some additional Amaretto will be added later on, so don’t overdo it. I quite like to also add a dash of brandy at this stage which gives a little sharpness to the taste. Gently drag the stiff egg whites under the creamy substance. Get a small (about 18cm×27cm / 7in×11in) rectangular pie dish out. Italy Dip a sponge finger’s bottom side quickly into the espresso (which could also contain some extra brandy if you are so inclined) and place it into the dish. Fill the whole bottom of the dish with sponge fingers lying side by side. Then use the bottle of Amaretto and sprinkle some on top of the sponge fingers. Now add about half the creamy mass on top of the sponge finge…and repeat the dipping- into-espresso, laying-out-the-sponge-fingers and sprinkling-the Amaretto to create a second layer atop the first one. Repeat the process. Put the tiramisu into the fridge for a couple of hours. Sprinkle a thin layer of the dark cocoa powder on top of the finished dish.

  • 9. Tiramisu - by Maria del Campo Ingredients: A tub of mascarpone 4 tablespoons of sugar 4 eggs Method: 3 espresso cups of espresso Make the espresso and pour it into a wide flat 1 pack of sponge fingers dish, letting it cool down a little (you will need Amaretto and possibly brandy as well to dip the sponge fingers in this later on, so have dark/bitter cocoa powder that in mind when choosing the dish) Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the egg whites. You need them extra stiff as they will provide the slightly airy texture to the crème later on. While there is no need to rush, it is advisable to work as quickly as possible after this – avoiding any lengthy breaks to make sure the beaten egg-whites will not become liquid again. Placing them in the fridge after beating them might help. Beat the egg-yolks. The yolks will become creamy and whiteish. Then add the sugar and a dash of Amaretto and continue beating. After a while, add the mascarpone and beat until everything is nice and well mixed. Add more Amaretto to taste – but keep in mind that some additional Amaretto will be added later on, so don’t overdo it. I quite like to also add a dash of brandy at this stage which gives a little sharpness to the taste. Gently drag the stiff egg whites under the creamy substance. Get a small (about 18cm×27cm / 7in×11in) rectangular pie dish out. Italy Dip a sponge finger’s bottom side quickly into the espresso (which could also contain some extra brandy if you are so inclined) and place it into the dish. Fill the whole bottom of the dish with sponge fingers lying side by side. Then use the bottle of Amaretto and sprinkle some on top of the sponge fingers. Now add about half the creamy mass on top of the sponge finge…and repeat the dipping- into-espresso, laying-out-the-sponge-fingers and sprinkling-the Amaretto to create a second layer atop the first one. Repeat the process. Put the tiramisu into the fridge for a couple of hours. Sprinkle a thin layer of the dark cocoa powder on top of the finished dish.
