Swamis favourite biscuits

Swami Vishwananda likes this little cakes a lot, and when Lakshmi from UK comes, she always makes them for him.

Ingredients

250g sifted flour

175g butter, room temperature

Strawberry jam

125g icing sugar

3 drops red food colouring (or enough to make a pink colour icing)

3-4 tblsp warm water (enough to make a thick pouring consistency)

Method

Pre-heat oven to 350F(180 C), Rub butter into flour and make into a soft dough. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1 cm. Cut small rounds. Place them on baking sheets and bake them until cooked to a light beige colour about 10-15mins. They must not be overcooked otherwise they will be too hard. When cool, spread jam over half of the biscuit rounds and cover with the remaining ones. Add the red colouring and water to the icing sugar to get a coating consistency. Pour over sandwiched biscuits and set aside to dry.
