Canistrelli Recipe: Filled Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1/4 cup of milk
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 cup of your favorite jam or chocolate spread

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the room temperature butter and mix using a pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolk and milk together, then add it to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms.
5. Onto a floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
6. Using a cookie cutter or a cup edge, cut the dough into circles.
7. Place half of the circles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each biscuit.
8. Using a spoon, add a dollop of your favorite jam or chocolate spread onto each circle.
9. Top each circle with a second biscuit circle, then use a fork to press the edges together to seal each biscuit.
10. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges of the biscuits are lightly golden.
11. Allow the biscuits to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
