Method

  1. Preheat oven at 180ºC.
  2. Slit the vanilla pod, scrape off the beans and place in a bowl. Add eggs and whisk well. Set aside.
  3. Combine butter and castor sugar in a bowl of a planetary mixer. Fit the bowl and cream on medium speed, adding the egg mixture slowly.
  4. Add flour and salt and process again till well mixed and a dough is formed.
  5. Dust the worktop with some flour. Roll out the dough into ½ inch thick sheet. Place a medium size plate on it and cut out a disc.

  7. Sprinkle castor sugar on the disc, put the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
  8. Serve.
