Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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 softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the egg yolk to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until fully combined.
- Scoop out the pulp from the two passion fruits and add it to the mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and corn flour until they are well mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Using your hands, form the dough into small egg-shaped balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies start to turn a light golden brown.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, your passionfruit shortbread eggs are ready to be enjoyed!
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before you start mixing for a smoother texture.
- If you don't have corn flour, you can substitute it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour.
- Use fresh passion fruits for the best flavor. If fresh passion fruits are not available, you can use passionfruit puree as an alternative.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before shaping to prevent it from spreading too much while baking.
- Use a pastry brush to gently brush off any excess flour from the shortbread shapes before baking for a cleaner look.
