Raspberry creams

Ingredients

  • 185 gm unsalted butter, softened
  • 120 gm brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 260 gm plain flour (1¾ cups)
  • ¾ tsp baking powder

  • 80 gm raspberry jam (¼ cup)

Method

Main
  • 1
    Preheat oven to 180C and line a large or 2 smaller baking trays with baking paper. Using an electric mixer, beat 175gm butter with brown sugar and vanilla until pale and creamy. Add egg and beat to combine, then sift flour and baking powder over and mix to a firm dough. Roll heaped teaspoonfuls of dough into balls and place on prepared baking trays, pressing lightly to flatten. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

    To assemble, spread a little cream over half the biscuits and spread jam over other half. Sandwich biscuit halves together and leave for 30 minutes to set. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
