Ingredients
- 125 grams butter
- ¼ cup icing sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup plain flour (all purpose flour)
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
Passionfruit Buttercream Filling
- 60 grams butter
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1 large passionfruit (use 2 if smaller/less pulpy)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees celsius (fan forced) (320 degrees fahrenheit).
- Beat butter, icing sugar and vanilla extract together until the mixture reaches a pale colour.
- Stir in sifted flours ⅓ at a time using a rubber spatula.
- Using floured hands, roll mixture into small balls (about ¾ tablespoon full).
- Place balls onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. You should have 12 balls and leave at least 3cm between each on the tray.
- Flatten each ball slightly using a fork (making a fork pattern on the top of each biscuit).
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the biscuits turn a pale yellow golden colour and are firm to touch.
- Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
