Lemon and vanilla cream Linzer biscuits

Recipes Cakes and Desserts
In this recipe, the traditional jam is replaced by a rich vanilla cream between the Linzer discs. This change elevates the biscuit into an elegant dessert, more reminiscent of a tiny tart than a biscuit. Since the cream has a higher moisture content than jam, these Linzers are best filled on the day of serving, or at most one day before.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the flour, icing sugar, baking powder, and salt. Rub in the cold butter.

Tip: Rubbing the butter into a 'sandy' texture is key to short pastry.
2 ✓

Add the lemon juice, zest, and egg. Knead together, then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Tip: During resting, the flour absorbs moisture, making it easier to work with.
3 ✓

Roll out, cut out the shapes, and bake at 180°C (160°C Fan) for 10-12 minutes.

Tip: Thin pastry bakes quickly, don't leave it unattended!
4 ✓

Cool the discs completely.

Tip: If you fill them while warm, the cream will run.
5 ✓

Fill with vanilla cream and sandwich the pairs together.

Tip: Use a piping bag for precise filling.
