Blueberry Layer Biscuits Recipe

Makes about 25

Ingredients:

1 vanilla bean

200g cold butter

400g spelt flour, plus extra to roll out

150g sugar

1 egg

50g blueberry jam

Method:

Slice the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, then scrape out the seeds. Cut the butter into small pieces. Place the scraped vanilla seeds, butter, spelt flour, sugar, a pinch of salt and egg into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and mix to form a smooth dough.

Turn the dough out onto a clean surface, and then press flat to form a brick. Wrap in baking paper, then place in the fridge and chill for at least 1 hour.

Cut the dough in half, and roll out each portion on a lightly floured surface to form a square measuring about 21x21cm. Brush each dough square with half the blueberry jam. Place one square on top of the other, press lightly to join.

Cut the dough into 4 equal squares. Place 2 on top of 2 others and press to join. You will have two dough portions. Refrigerate both for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced), line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Cut 8mm-thick slices from the dough portions and place on the baking trays.

Place one tray at a time on the oven’s middle rack and bake for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
