Cooking mode
  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C and prepare 2 baking trays.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the plain flour, cornflour, baking powder and sea salt, then set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, add the aquafaba and whisk with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Add the caster sugar and whisk again until the mixture is glossy.
  4. Gradually add the vanilla extract and oil and continue to whisk. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined and no lumps remain. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle and pipe in lines around 6cm long on the baking trays.
  6. Sift the icing sugar over the biscuits and bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden. Leave to cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool and crisp up fully.
