These classic Austrian sweets are as easy to make as they are to eat. They'll keep for a week of office and school lunchboxes - if they're not eaten first!

Ingredients

250 g unsalted butter, chopped, at room temperature

¼ cup caster sugar

½ tsp vanilla extract

1¾ cups plain flour

¼ cup custard powder

375 g dark chocolate melts

Method

  1. Grease three large oven trays. Line with baking paper.
  2. Beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a small bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Using a wooden spoon, stir in combined sifted flour and custard powder.
  3. Spoon mixture into a large piping bag fitted with a 1cm fluted nozzle. Pipe mixture, about 2cm apart, into 8cm lengths on prepared trays.
  4. Cook, one tray at a time, 
in a moderate oven (180C) for about 12 minutes. Allow biscuits to cool on trays.
  5. Stir melts in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water until smooth. Transfer to a small jug.
  6. Dip one end of each cold biscuit into chocolate. Gently shake to remove excess chocolate. Return to paper-lined trays. Stand at room temperature until set.
