1 Preheat oven to 170°C. Combine the butter, icing sugar and Geraldton Wax powder in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on high speed for 5 minutes, until very light. Add the eggs and beat again. Sift the flours and salt, then fold into to make a smooth dough.
2 Place ½-tablespoons of dough into mini muffin moulds, then bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden. Whisk the cottage cheese and psyllium until smooth, then set aside for 5 minutes. Spoon onto shortbread, then top with kangaroo braesola and parsley.
