Sweetness is a must in all the best biscuits but icing sugar is used in this recipe, as opposed to the usual caster sugar you get in biscuits. This helps the Viennese fingers have that familiar melt-in-the-mouth texture. And these Viennese Fingers or Viennese Shortbread Biscuits are the perfect addition here. They are incredibly delicious, elegant and decadent, and you won't believe how easily you can make them at home.

Chocolate-Dipped Viennese Fingers made with only a few ingredients, a delicious sweet treat recipe that is very popular in the UK. The biscuits are so soft, almost melting in the mouth, with a delicate crumbly texture and a hint of vanilla. They make the perfect addition to any afternoon tea or garden party menu, and they go down well with the whole family.Sift in the flour and cornflour, add the vanilla extract and beat again for at least 2 minutes until you have a very soft mixture.

If this happens to you, subsequent batches will leave your nerves shot. This recipe makes 10-12 biscuits – the perfect amount for a little practice.

Place the butter and icing sugar into a bowl and using an electric whisk beat until fully combined. Beat in the vanilla extract.

Again this adds to the melt-in-the-mouth texture, like the icing sugar, as well as giving them a slight crispness as they bake. icing sugar - unlike caster or granulated sugar, the icing sugar has a smooth texture which helps achieve the right consistency for the biscuits
