Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature, making it easier to mix.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer or by hand with a sturdy wooden spoon.
- Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds. Add the passionfruit pulp to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the white rice flour and all-purpose white wheat flour to the mixture, stirring until just combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If the dough is too crumbly, you can add a bit more passionfruit pulp or a small amount of water.
- Scoop out small amounts of dough (about a teaspoon) and roll them into small balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Lightly flatten each dough ball with the back of a fork or your fingers.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Remove the shortbread bites from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, serve your buttery passionfruit shortbread bites with tea, coffee, or as a delightful snack anytime.
Tips:
- For a more intense passionfruit flavor, consider using an extra passionfruit or concentrating the juice before adding it to the dough.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before you begin mixing for easier blending and a smoother dough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the shortbread maintain its shape and achieve the ideal texture.
- Slice the passionfruit open and strain the seeds if you wish to have a smoother texture; however, leaving the seeds in can add an interesting crunch and aesthetic appeal.
- Watch the baking time closely. The shortbread should be light golden around the edges but still pale on top to ensure a tender crumbly texture.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
Voila! Your Buttery Passionfruit Shortbread Bites are ready to be enjoyed. These treats offer a delicate balance of crumbly, buttery goodness and the bright flavor of passionfruit. Perfect as an afternoon snack or a delightful dessert, these shortbread bites are sure to become a favorite in your baking repertoire.
