Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • -100g or a generous 1/3 cup of unsalted butter.
  • -100g or 7 tbsp caster (superfine) sugar.
  • -1 egg
  • -200g or 2 cups of plain (all-purpose) flour.
  • -50g or 1/4 cup of Lucuma powder.

To decorate:

  • -Icing sugar

Method

  • STEP 1
    Lightly grease a baking tray or line with baking paper.
  • STEP 2
    Beat together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg.
  • STEP 3
    Sift together the flour and Lucuma powder and gradually beat in to form a soft dough.
  • STEP 4
    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.
  • STEP 5
    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".
  • STEP 6
    Place on the prepared baking tray, slightly spaced apart to allow for spreading during cooking.
  • STEP 7
    Bake in a preheated oven, 190C/375F/Gas mark 5, for 8-12 minutes (not more or they'll probably burn).
  • STEP 8
    The smell coming from the oven is just incredible.... and believe me, all your neighbours will be queuing up outside your door :-)
  • STEP 9
    Leave the pretzels to cool slightly on the baking tray, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • STEP 10
    Sprinkle them with icing sugar, or instead you can mix icing sugar and Lucuma powder to sprinkle your pretzels.
