Ingredients
- 3 medium eggs at room temperature
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon corn starch
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Lightly grease a baking tray with solid fat and place parchment paper on it.
- Get 3 medium eggs and separate the yolks and egg whites. Put the egg whites into a clean bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a bit of granulated sugar. Start beating the egg whites with a mixer on low speed. Gradually increase speed and add all the ½ cup granulated sugar until you use all of it.
- Reduce the speed to minimum and gradually add the egg yolks to the whipped whites, one at a time.
- Fold in ¾ cup all-purpose flour mixed with 1 Tablespoon corn starch. Use your hands and a kitchen silicone spatula. Mix thoroughly; there shouldn’t be any lumps in the batter. The finished mixture is light and airy.
- Preheat the oven to 380 °F – Piškoty need a higher temperature to be crispy enough.
- Put the foamy batter into a piping bag with a round tip and pipe small mounds about 1.⅕ inches (3-4 cm) in diameter.
- Dust the mounds with ⅓ cup powdered sugar using a sifter.
- Insert the tray into the oven and bake the Piškoty for 10-15 minutes until they turn light golden.

Notes
- Store finished piškoty in a box covered with a table napkin. The box doesn’t need to be sealed with a lid. Piškoty could moisten and lose their crispiness.
- The basic recipe makes about 60 small Piškoty biscuits.
