• Add the cornflour, flour, and salt, and mix to form a smooth, soft dough.
• Roll the dough into small 0.7oz balls, and place them onto the prepared baking tray. Press them down with the tines of a fork. Freeze until solid - about 10 - 20 minutes.

• In another large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until thick and glossy and slightly lighter in color, about 30 seconds or so.
• Add the egg and yolk, one at a time, whisking after each addition. Add the heavy cream and vanilla and whisk again.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet and using a flexible spatula or wooden spoon mix just until combined. Do not over mix.
