Continental fingers


These fingers are oh so good! They melt in your mouth! They were kinda fragile that when they are done, I had to remove them from the baking tray carefully so as not to break them. Paired with chocolate coating and they are perfect! A few of them were gone before the chocolate has a chance to harden!!! Andy and Georgia were busy helping themselves!!!

Georgia caught in the act by Andy!

METHOD
1. Preheat oven to moderate 180 degC. Line two trays with baking paper.
2. Using electric beaters, beat margarine and sugar until creamy and light. Add vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add sifted flour and cornflour and mix to a soft dough.
