Viennese whirls
European 20 Mins Prep · 12 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- To make the whirls, cream 200g of butter, 75g of sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a large bowl until light and fluffy – approx. 8 minutes. Sift in the flour, corn flour, baking powder, salt and then add the milk.
- Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle and pipe 20 even rounds onto a lined baking sheet. Chill the whirls in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Place the sheet in the middle of the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until firm and starting to turn golden brown at the edges. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the buttercream. Place the rest of the butter and sugar in a bowl and cream together until light and fluffy – approx. 8 minutes. Add the rose water.
- Turn all the biscuits upside down and spread half of them with buttercream. Spread the remaining biscuits with jam and sandwich them together.
- Dust with the extra icing sugar and serve.
