Method

  1. Lightly grease a baking tray or line with baking paper. Beat together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg.
  2. Sift together the flour and Lucuma powder and gradually beat in to form a soft dough. Use your fingers to incorporate the last of the flour and bring the dough together. Make a ball, wrap with cling film and put in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  3. Break pieces from the dough and roll into thin sausage shapes about 10cm/4 inches long and 6mm thick. Twist into pretzel shapes by making a circle, then twist the ends through each other to form a letter "B".
  4. Place on the prepared baking tray, slightly spaced apart to allow for spreading during cooking.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven, 190C/375F/Gas mark 5, for 8-12 minutes (not more or they'll probably burn). The smell coming from the oven is just incredible.... and believe me, all your neighbours will be queuing up outside your door :-) Leave the pretzels to cool slightly on the baking tray, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle them with icing sugar, or instead you can mix icing sugar and Lucuma powder to sprinkle your pretzels.
