Method
step 1
Cream the butter and icing sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.step 2
Mix 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 3
Roll out dough on a floured surface. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out rounds and lay on a lined baking tray.step 4
Using a small round cutter, cut out small circles from half of the biscuit rounds.step 5
Bake 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 6
While the biscuits are cooling on a wire rack, make the icing.step 7
Beat 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 8
spread 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.
