Ingredients
Vanilla Shortbread Biscuit
- 187g butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups plain flour
Vanilla Buttercream Icing
- 187g butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups plain flour
- 125g icing sugar
- 40g butter at room temperature
- 15ml whole milk
- a couple of drops vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
Method
- STEP 1Cream the butter and icing sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- STEP 2Mix in the flour. You may need to add more or less flour. It needs to be a soft dough which you are able to roll out.
- STEP 3Roll out dough on a floured surface. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out rounds and lay on a lined baking tray.
- STEP 4Using a small round cutter, cut out small circles from half of the biscuit rounds.
- STEP 5Bake at 220'C for 5-10 minutes. The biscuits should still be pale but slightly golden on the tips and on the bottom of the biscuits.
- STEP 6While the biscuits are cooling on a wire rack, make the icing.
- STEP 7Beat the icing sugar and butter until the mixture comes together. Add in the vanilla and milk and beat for 5 minutes on high speed. The icing should be light and very fluffy!
- STEP 8spread the icing on the biscuits without a hole and sandwich with a biscuit that does have a hole! Fill the hole with strawberry jam. I like to sprinkle the biscuits with caster or icing sugar.
