Cat's tongues

We commonly know them as cat's tongues because of their flat, narrow, and elongated shape. The technical term in pastry for these delicious biscuits that are very simple to make is cigarette mass, who made them for us. We have all tasted them at least once, hidden among other biscuits and pastries in the Sunday pastry "cabaret". They are prepared in a few minutes, making a delicate dough based on butter, sugar, flour and egg whites. Ideal to serve as a snack together with small pastries, as they go perfectly with tea, or served with ice cream, spoon desserts, delicious creams and fruit salads. Cat's tongues can also be used to garnish cakes, adding an extra touch of elegance and deliciousness! INGREDIENTS Soft butter , with cream 50 g Icing sugar 60 g Egg whites 50 g Flour 50 g Preparation To prepare the cat lungs, first place the soft butter in a bowl. Add the icing sugar and mix with a spatula. In fact, this mass will not have to mount. Incorporate the egg whites and mix again until you get a cream. Add the flour and mix again until you get a soft mass. Transfer the dough into a piping bag with a smooth 10 mm nozzle. Make sticks about 10 cm long on a baking tray lined with parchment paper; you can make about 15 on the same drip tray. Bake in a preheated convection oven at 190° C for about 8 minutes. At this point the cat's tongues will be ready. Take them out of the oven and if you prefer to give a different shape than usual when they are still hot, transfer them to a rolling pin and let them cool. This will give you a wave shape. Otherwise, to obtain a straight shape, just let them cool in the pan. Transfer to a serving dish and serve, or use them to make a dessert giving vent to your imagination.
