I found this recipe on Taste and loved them so much I made them as gifts for Christmas - placed them in some cute brown boxes & tied with a big red ribbon. My partner especially loved them & ate as many as he could find. I don't remember how many it made - but it was enough for 4 boxes with loads left over.
Ingredients:
250g butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla essence (you could also use vanilla paste)
1/2 cup pure icing sugar, sifted
2 cups plain flour
1/3 cup corn flour
Passion fruit Filling:
60g butter, softened
1 large passion fruit
1 cup pure icing sugar, sifted
1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
2. Using an electric mixer (bench top or handheld - it doesn't matter) cream butter, vanilla and icing sugar until light and fluffy. Sift flours over butter mixture. Beat on low speed until a soft dough forms.
3. Roll into teaspoon sized balls. Place on trays - these don't rise very much so you can pack them relatively close. Using a fork dipped in flour, lightly flatten each biscuit until 1cm thick. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until firm. let cool on tray for 10 minutes.
4. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Be gentle, they are quite fragile whilst warm.
5. Make passion fruit filling: Using an electric mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy. Stir in passion fruit pulp and icing sugar.
6. Spread flat side of 1 biscuit with half teaspoon of filling. Top with another biscuit. Repeat with remaining biscuits and filling. Dust with icing sugar & serve.
Happy baking!
