Servings: 20 biscuits
Calories: 200kcal
Ingredients
- 250 g 9oz butter, softened
- 1 passionfruit
- ½ cup icing sugar sifted
- 1 ½ tsps vanilla extract
- 1 ⅔ cups plain AP flour
- ½ cup cornflour
Passionfruit icing
- 80 g 3oz butter, softened
- ⅔ cup icing sugar sifted (you made need a little more)
- 2-3 tablespoon passionfruit pulp
- I used 1 passionfruit
Instructions
Shortbread
- Pre-heat the oven to 150C(300F) fan-forced and line two trays with baking paper.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the butter, passionfruit, icing sugar and vanilla extract until it is light and creamy.
- Add the flours to the bowl in two batches and mix them in until the mixture is even.
- Flour your hands so the dough doesn't stick and then gently roll the mixture into balls and place them on the tray. I used a heaped teaspoon for each ball.
- Leave at least 3cm between each ball.
- Use a floured fork to press down the top of each dough ball.
- Bake the biscuits for 15-20 minutes or until they start to turn golden.
- Leave them to cool on the trays for 10 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Icing
- To make the icing, beat all the ingredients together in the mixer.
- When the biscuits have cooled completely, turn half of them bottom-up.
- Spoon a blob of icing on each bottom and then sandwich together with a top.
- Dust with icing sugar to serve.
- Kept in an air-tight container, melting moments will last about 3 days.
