Ingredients
- 225g (8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 150g (5 oz) sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 300g (10 oz) all-purpose flour
- 50g (1.8 oz) cornflour (cornstarch)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100g (3.5 oz) shredded coconut (optional for an exotic twist)
- Jam of your choice for sandwiching (strawberry, raspberry, lemon—go wild!)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). That’s right, let that oven work its magic!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy—it’s like a fluffy cloud of happiness!
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Stir it up until it’s all wonderfully mixed!
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cornflour, and baking powder. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, toss in the shredded coconut for that tropical vibe. Who said biscuits can’t be a little fancy?
- Now, scoop out tablespoons of dough and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Leave some space between them because they’ll expand like they just heard a funny joke!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. The aroma will awaken your inner pastry chef!
- Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool. Be patient, your taste buds will thank you later!
- Once cooled, spread a generous layer of your favorite jam on one biscuit and top it with another. Repeat until all biscuits are sandwiched and ready to impress!
And voilà! You’ve just created your very own batch of Australian Federation Biscuits. Ideal for sharing (or not—no one will judge!) Enjoy every crumb and celebrate the fabulousness of biscuits!
