Orange & vanilla Linzer biscuits

Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The Linzer is an indispensable companion to afternoon tea. In this version, the soft, sweet scent of vanilla blends with the fresh aroma of orange. The secret to Linzer dough 'crumbliness' is fat: butter coats the flour particles, preventing them from sticking together and forming a strong structure (like bread). Thus we get that characteristic texture that melts in the mouth, which we love so much.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the flour, icing sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

2 ✓

Rub in the cold butter with your fingers until it has the texture of wet sand.

Tip: Work quickly so the butter doesn't melt!
3 ✓

Add the egg yolks, vanilla sugar, and grated orange zest. Knead quickly into a ball.

Tip: Don't knead too long, or the warmth of your hands will melt the butter and the biscuit will be tough.
4 ✓

Wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Tip: During resting the dough 'relaxes' and becomes easier to roll.
5 ✓

Roll out on a floured board 3-4 mm thick, and cut out the shapes (bases and ring tops).

6 ✓

Bake at 180°C for 10-12 minutes until the edges just start to colour.

Tip: Don't overbake or it will dry out!
7 ✓

Let cool, then sandwich together with marmalade. Dust with icing sugar before serving.

Recipe FAQ

Why did it deform during baking?
The butter was too warm and the dough spread before baking. You can put the tray back in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking!
When is it tastiest?
Next day or day after, when the dough has absorbed moisture from the jam and softened.
