Love these buttery biscuits that are easy to make and taste delicious.
Instructions
Heat oven to 160C fan
Line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment.
Put the butter and icing sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk for about 5 mins until pale and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and beat until fully incorporated.
Mix together the flour, cornflour and baking powder, and fold into the mixture using a spatula until combined.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a large nozzle.
Pipe circles about 5cm diameter onto a baking sheet allowing about 2cm gaps between each biscuit.
Put in oven for 10-12 mins until golden.
Cool for a few mins on a wire rack.
While cooling, make the filling.
Put softened butter in a large mixing bowl and add icing sugar.
It is a good idea to stir everything together so as not to cause a big sugar dust cloud.
Whisk until fluffy and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat.
You can use a spoon or put the buttercream into a piping bag which makes it easier to spread without breaking the delicate biscuits.
Pipe or spoon the buttercream onto the flat underside of a biscuit in a circle leaving a well in the middle for the jam. Or
Pipe or spoon the buttercream onto the flat underside of one biscuit and spoon jam on to another biscuit.
