You, one in a million




São bons-bons de comer e chorar por mais. A receita veio da Eslováquia, e só forneci as mãos, o empenho e o meu forno. Ahhh e a minha fonte de inspiração que nestes dias ameaça, mas não acaba.

babes, here it goes:

225 g unsalted butter
100 g caster sugar
200 g plain flour
150 g jam (we used strawberry, by peach is also really nhammi)
icing sugar, for dusting

mix the butter, sugar and plain flour until the mixture forms a dough. Knead the dough into a large ball, then cover in cling film and leave to chill in the fridge for at least 5 hours. (we left O/N)

Preheat the oven to 140C/gas 1. Remove the dough from the fridge and knead it until softened. Divide into three equal portions and roll each portion out into a sheet 5mm thick.
Using a round shaped cutter of 6cm, cut out an even number of biscuit shapes. Using a palette knife, carefully place half of the biscuits onto a greased baking sheet. Using a smaller (preferably 2cm) cutter shape of your choice, punch out the middle portion of each of the remaining biscuit shapes. Carefully transfer these onto a baking sheet using a palette knife and bake both batches of biscuits for 30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Remove the biscuits from the oven and take them off the baking tray straight away and put onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Spread a generous blob of jam onto the centre of the whole biscuits, then place the biscuits with the cut-outs on top and press together so that the jam peeks out. Sieve a little icing sugar over the top.
