Pre-heat oven to 160°C

In a standing mixer or with a hand mixer mix the butter and vanilla until well incorporated.

Then add the caster sugar and mix until a creamy consistency.

Then add the flour and rice flour.

On a floured surface knead the dough a little till smooth. Break off bits of the dough and form into a finger shape. At one end make a little indentation and put a small bit of jam in there - about 1/4 tsp or less. Press a blanched almond into it to make a finger nail. I also used a knife to make creases in the knuckles.

Place on a lined baking tray - I greased the tray with nuttelex also.

Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes until cooked. Let cool and then serve with some more strawberry jam for extra effect. Enjoy!
