Petit four
Ingredients;
• 500g butter (at room temp)
• 175g icing sugar
• 4 egg whites
• 2g salt
• 2g vanilla
• 625g flour

Method:
Cream the butter and sugar together until it increases in volume and its color lightens. Next mix in the egg whites, then add in the salt and vanilla. Finally blend in the flour. Shape using the large nozzle in the piping bag or petit four maker onto a greased pan. Bake in a medium oven until done. Leave it to cool down completely then stick two pieces of petit four using strawberry or apricot jam, dip in melted chocolate or minced nuts.

You can add some cocoa powder to dough for chocolate petite four, but add a little milk or margarine to get the right consistency of the dough.
