Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, icing sugar, salt and zest, then add the cold butter cut into cubes.
  2. Rub the dough between your fingertips until it has a sandy texture, then add the egg and vanilla to form a ball.
  3. Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes in the fridge.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Roll out the dough to 3 mm thick and cut out rounds with a fluted cutter.
  5. Cut a small hole in the centre of half the rounds, then bake for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly golden.
  6. Let cool, spread jam on the solid bases and top with the biscuits with holes, then dust with icing sugar.
