Lemon Curd Filled Biscuits

It's raining today in my town. I love peaceful Fridays, when everyone is home, gathered around kitchen talking about highlights of the week and deciding on what to bake for weekend. Rhythmical patting of the rain adds it's charming part to this atmosphere. Idea came from my older son (17), who remembered these shortbreads I made once 10 years ago. (Edvin is diagnosed with mild autism; he has incredible memory. If I want to mark someones birthday, I tell him the date instead of writing into a calendar. Every now and then, when is someones birthday, we have an announcement "Today's .... (name) birthday.") The list in his memory is always expanding, and never disapoint.



Ingredients:

2 cups plain flour

1/3 cup icing sugar

1/4 cup rice flour

200 g soft butter

1 egg

a bit of lemon zest

Lemon Curd for filling

Method:

Preheat oven to 160-170*C. Prepare baking sheet; cover with silicon paper.

Make a smooth dough out of all the ingredients (use food processor or knead by hand).

Take 1/2 tbs of dough and make small balls (or 1 tbs if you like larger biscuits).

Place them onto baking sheet, then press each ball with any suitable device to form a hole (chopstick, wooden pencil...in my case skewer for Kebab).

Bake for 15 min, or until very lightly golden.

Let it cool, then place some lemon curd into a plastic bag, cut small corner and squeeze into the holes. Dust with icing sugar (optional).

Prhki keksici filovani 'Zgusnutim' Limunom (Lemon Curd)



Danas pada kisa u mome gradicu i svojim romorom doprinosi atmosferi petka popodne.

Volim ta popodneva kada se svi okupimo u kuhinji, pricamo o dogadjajima protekle sedmice i predlazemo sta da pravimo za vikend. Ideja je dosla od mog starijeg sina

(17), koji se sjetio ovih kolacica koje sam pravila prije nekih 10 godina. Edvinu je dijagnosticiran blagi autizam; ima nevjerovatnu memoriju. Kada zelim da zapamtim neciji rodjendan, samo njemu kazem ime i datum, umjesto da zapisujem u kalendar. Svako malo, on izjavi "Danas je .... (ime) rodjendan". I tako svake godine, sa listom imena u njegovoj memoriji koja se uvijek siri i nikad ne zakaze.



Potrebno:

2 solje brasna

1/3 solje secera u prahu

1/4 solje rizinog brasna

200 gr putera, omekshalog

1 jaje

malo ribane korice limuna

'Zgusnuti' Limun za punjenje

Nacin:

Ukljucite rernu na 170-180*C, pripremite pleh za pecenje i oblozite ga papirom.

Umijesite tijesto od svih sastojaka, bilo rucno ili uz pomoc sjeckalice.

Uzimajte po 1/2 K od tijesta, oblikujte kuglice i stavljajte na pleh. (ukoliko volite vece kekse pravite kuglice od 1 K tijesta)

Svaku kuglicu nabodite sa necim prikladanim (drvena olovka, ili slicno)i stavite peci 15-ak minuta. Kada izvadite iz rerne, prohladite ih i onda punite zgusnutim limunom (koji stavite u manju kesu sa odsjecenim vrhom). Pozelji kekse mozete posuti secerom u prahu.
