Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Divide the dough and roll into finger shapes about ½ inch (1 cm) wide and 5 inches (12 cm) long.
  3. Roll about three-quarters of each finger in black sesame seeds to create texture.
  4. Press a sliced almond onto the tip of each finger to form a nail.
  5. Mix the egg yolk with food colouring. Using a small pastry brush, lightly paint each almond “nail” to create a witchy polish effect.
  6. 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.
