How to make Lotus PinWheel Biscuits
The Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Lotus spread, or chocolate spread, or nut butters or a combination all the above!
The Method:
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
Divide into 4 portions. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
On a baking sheet, roll out each portion between waxed paper into a rectangle about 1/2cm thick.
Spread lotus or nut butter over the biscuit dough thickly. Roll up tightly, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; wrap in plastic. Repeat with remaining dough. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. Unwrap and cut into ½ to 1cm slices.
Place apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 180° for 10-12 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool.
