Description
These are dirt easy to make and the both look and taste amazing. The only potentially fussy bit is using piping bags, which isn't essential to making a great taste – it's just an 'aesthetic' touch that gives them the cafe style look. This is taken from a great donna hay classic. You can play with the fillings a little too if you like.
Ingredients
- Butter
- Icing Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Plain Flour
- Cornflour
- Lemon Juice
- Lemon Rind
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180degrees
- Place the butter, icing sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat with electric beaters until light and fluffly
- Stir in the flour and cornflour until combined
- The more evenly mixed the ingredients are, the meltier the biscuit so be sure to mix well!
- Optional:place all the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a fluted nozzle
- Pipe 3cm rounds onto a baking tray lined with baking paper
- Best to start piping by piping the circular outline of the biscuit and working your way in a circular clockwise motion towards the middle of the biscuit
- Flatten slightly
- Be sure to leave room for spreading
- This amount of batter makes approx 32 individual biscuits
- Cook for 12-14 minutes until biscuits are just golden
- They may still look a little soft in the middle but they set upon cooling
- Cool on trays
- To make the filling: place the butter, icing sugar, lemon juice and rind in a bowl and beat with electric beaters until fluffly and creamy
- Pipe onto half the biscuits and sandwich with the remaining buscuits
- Variations on this filling can be done with orange
- Replace the lemon juice and lemon rind with the same quantity of orange juice and rind
- This can also be done with lime in the same manner
- These also taste good with caramel filling!
