- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- ⅔ cup grated cheese (such as emmental, comté, or parmesan)
- ½ cup black sesame seeds
- sliced almonds (for fingernails)
- 1 egg yolk
- ⅛ tsp food colouring (optional)
Steps
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, olive oil, milk, salt, Italian seasoning, baking powder, flour, cornstarch, and grated cheese until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough and roll into finger shapes about ½ inch (1 cm) wide and 5 inches (12 cm) long.
Roll about three-quarters of each finger in black sesame seeds to create texture.
Press a sliced almond onto the tip of each finger to form a nail.
Mix the egg yolk with food colouring. Using a small pastry brush, lightly paint each almond “nail” to create a witchy polish effect.
Arrange the fingers on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm.
