- Mix flour with baking powder and salt. Add icing sugar and butter in cubes.
- Add egg yolks. Knead everything to a smooth mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Heat your oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Line baking trays with greaseproof paper or silicone mats.
- Roll out the mixture in small portions on a lightly floured work surface. Cut out biscuits and place on the prepared baking trays.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Makes sure that the biscuits don't burn. Once you bake the 3rd and 4th baking tray, they will bake faster.
- Let cook on wire racks, then decorate with royal icing and sugar pearls.
