              BAKING MATT, WHISK, MARISA (flexible spatula), PINOCCHIO (gauging
              funnel), ICING BAG WITH CURLY NOZZLE
              Ingredients
              75 g milk
              175 g butter
              75 g sugar
              1 g salt
              1 vanilla bean
              ½ lemon grated rind
              210 g flour for biscuits
              65 g potato starch
              2 g baking powder
              80 g candied cherries (or granulated hazelnuts)
              Method
              By means of a planetary mixer equipped with the whisk, mix the
              butter, sugar, spices and potato starch. Add in the milk with the
              salt (dissolved). Blend well and stir in the flour previously
              sifted twice together with the baking powder, processing at low
              speed. Through the icing bag with curly nozzle, shape small roses
              on the baking matt placed over a cake tin. If you so like, add a
              decoration on the center of each biscuit placing on it candied
              fruit, jam, granulated hazelnuts or almonds. Bake at 180 °C for 14
              minutes at open valve. Ideal weight: 10 g. Bigger size biscuits
              require too long to bake.
