Delicious melting biscuits from the queen of sweets, Mira Valcich. Make sure you find provdl, which is favoured for baking as it tends to keep its shape rather than spreading while cooking – it comes in jars and is found in European delis and some supermarkets.

Ingredients

250 g - unsalted butter, softened
300 ml - cream
2 tbsp - vanilla sugar
1 ½ tsp - baking powder
400 g (2 ⅔ cups) - plain flour
provdl plum jam
caster sugar

Preparation

Mix the butter, cream, vanilla sugar and baking powder. Slowly add the flour to make a soft, stretchy dough. Knead for 5 minutes. Roll the dough out thinly and cut into 15 cm triangles with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Place a triangle in front of you with a wide edge facing you. Add 1 teaspoon of jam at the wide edge and roll the triangle up over the jam. Form the roll into a U shape. Repeat with the rest of the triangles.

Bake the biscuits at 200°C until golden. Roll in caster sugar while still warm.

Childhood memories

LOVE these, this is such a huge part of my childhood eating these biscuits and many more traditional ones like it. However, I make these using philladelphia cream cheese in the dough......DEVINE! Melts in your mouth!

I made couple of batches knowing that they wouldn't last for long! They practically melt in your mouth! And the delicious baking smell aroma hangs around for hours...

LOVE THESE!!

I made a batch for my mum to try and she said they were as good as my grandmothers! I made them using the traditional recipe first and also made them using sour cream (its a little easier with the sour cream but not true to tradition)..you can get vanilla sugar and podravka plum jam from Audrey & Marco www.audreyandmarco.com.au. Hope this helps!

best biscuits ive eaten

i made these biscuits to the recipe and they were beautiful,when i made the duogh i refrigerated it overnight and used flour to roll it out, i thought they were the best bisciuts ive eaten and will make them again and again,they are very addictive,when you make pastry you need to refrigerate it and let it rest before rolling out,perhaps this is like a pastry recipe(i am a chef)
