150g of Jam of strawberry

PREPARATION
Place in a bowl the flour, the butter, the yeast, the salt, the eggs, the sugar and the vanillina, mix all together until you obtain an homogeneous dough

then roll up the dough in a sheet of film and place it in fridge for 30 minutes.


After this time preheat the oven to 180°C, with the help of a rolling pin roll out the dough in order to obtain a pastry of 3 – 4 cm of thickness.



Now with shapes of different form cut the pastry in an even number of pieces :this because each biscuit is made of two parts, a lower part and an upper part with holes. Cover the bottom of a baking pan with a sheet of a baking paper, place on it the biscuits and bake them for about 10 – 15 minutes until the surface of the biscuits becomes slightly golden.


Then let them cool and place some jam of strawberry over the biscuits without holes, now cover it with the other biscuit of the same form but with holes.


When all the biscuits are ready place them on a platter and sprinkle with some icing sugar before serve.
This is the result:


BUON APPETITO!
