Passionfruit Rounds

INGREDIENTS:

125g pure butter, softened
1/3 cup raw caster sugar
1 tsp natural vanilla essence
1 passionfruit, halved
1 cup plain flour
¼ cup rice flour

 

METHOD:

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (140°C for fan-forced). Line two baking trays with baking paper.
2. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Stir in the passionfruit pulp and then the flours.
3. Roll the dough into small balls and place on the prepared trays. Flatten the balls with the back of a spoon.
4. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until just golden. Leave the balls to stand on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

TIP:

These can be iced to look extra special—combine 1 cup pure icing sugar with 1 tbsp water and stir until smooth. If the icing is too thin, add a little icing sugar, a tbsp at a time. If the icing is too thick, add a couple of drops of water at a time. Add a squeeze of lemon juice for some zing in your icing.
