Hi, what temperature should the oven have? It says 200°C in Step 1, but 170°C in Step 5.

True Kourambiethes have no egg. My mum used to beat them for a lot longer for a good half hour, and were always perfect.

Hi Dear,
In all my greek recipe of Kourabiedes there is an egg yolk. Why you don’t use it? Thank you

Hey Louisa

It is indeed one Table spoon. However if you do find the taste strong you can reduce it to 0.75 tbsp but they will rise a bit less in the oven. Also make sure you are using plain flour, not self raising flour as it already has baking powder in it!

Finally make sure you bake them till they are a pale golden brown colour and make sure they are not too big. When the baking powder cooks it stops tasting like it. So it may be that the cookies needed a little bit longer in the oven.
