Ingredients

  • 250 g butter

  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Method

  1. Beat the room-temperature butter with the powdered sugar, beating well until the sugar disappears.
  2. Add the oil and continue beating, then add the eggs and vanilla and beat well.
  3. Sift the flour, baking powder, and cornstarch together and add them gradually, folding with a spatula or by hand without using an electric mixer or kneading, until you obtain a soft dough.
  4. Place the dough in a piping bag and shape it as desired.
  5. Place the petit fours on a parchment-lined baking tray, then put them into a preheated oven at 180°C.
  6. Leave them in the oven for 10 minutes only, watching carefully.
  7. When the petit fours have cooled completely, decorate them as desired.
  8. Note: To make chocolate petit fours, take half the dough and add 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa and 1 tablespoon room-temperature butter so the dough does not become stiff.
