The traditional Yo Yo Biscuits we all know and love get a summery make-over with the addition of passionfruit.
Ingredients
250g Western Star Unsalted Butter, softened
80g pure icing sugar, sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
75g cornflour, sifted
225g plain flour, sifted
Icing: 300g icing sugar, sifted
100g Western Star Unsalted Butter, chilled and chopped
2 tbsp passionfuit pulp
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line two large baking trays with baking paper and set aside
Place the butter and icing sugar in the bowl of an electric mixed and beat together until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla and beat until combined. Using a wooden spoon, mix in the cornflour and plain flour until a dough forms
Form 1/2 tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls and place onto the prepared trays, leaving a 3-4cm gap between each ball, as the biscuits will spread. Flatten each one gently with the back of a damp fork
Transfer into the oven for 12 minutes or until the biscuits begin to colour. Remove from the oven and cool on the tray for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
To make the icing, beat the sugar and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the passionfruit and mix to combine
Get the kids to help you assemble, by spreading the base of a biscuit with icing, and then joining with another biscuit. Repeat with remaining biscuits and icing
Dust with icing sugar and serve
