Delicious apricot turnover biscuits
What could be more comforting than a nice, freshly-baked apricot turnover biscuit? And what could be more fun than baking it with your kids Naqiyah Mayat, author of The Beginning: Indian Recipes from my Home, shared her recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups of flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 250g butter
- 125 ml fresh cream
- ½ tsp of vanilla essence
- Smooth apricot jam
- 2 egg whites (gently whisked)
Cooking instructions:
- Sieve the flour 3 times, then sieve the baking powder into the flour.
- Grate the butter into the flour and rub to form a breadcrumb-like consistency.
- Grate the butter into the flour.
- Add the vanilla essence to the cream.
- Pour the cream into the flour mixture and knead until a soft dough comes together.
- Roll the dough out into a thin layer and, using a glass of 6 cm in diameter, cut out circles of the dough. Remove and place on wax wrap.
- When completed, gently rub egg whites around the inner rim of the biscuit.
- Spoon ½ t of gently beaten apricot jam into the centre of each biscuit, then gently fold the biscuit over and press the edges to seal.
- Place on a baking tray and bake at 160°C for about 15 minutes or until the biscuits become a soft golden brown. Remove and set aside to cool.
- Once cooled, roll around in caster sugar until each biscuit is covered with a light coating. Serve immediately.
