Homemade shortcrust pastry sun slices, procedure

Cream the chopped butter with the sugar and fold in the egg yolks, baking powder, citrus zest, salt, and sifted flour and starch. Finally, stir in the milk and shape the mixture into a loaf. Roll out the dough until it's 5 mm thick, then cut it into half-moon shapes.

Make small incisions in each cookie and place them, spaced appropriately apart, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them with egg white before baking at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes. Once the baking time is up, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool before dusting them with powdered sugar mixed with a pinch of cinnamon.
