WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F, gas mark 4). Meanwhile, cream the butter and the icing sugar together with a wooden spoon, then quickly work in the sifted flours and salt. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 mins.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until it's 6mm (½ in) thick. Stamp out 12 circles using a 9cm (3½ in) round cutter then cook on a baking sheet for 10 mins until a pale gold colour. Leave them to cool on a wire rack.
- Mix the whipped cream, yogurt, caster sugar and vanilla extract together. Sandwich the biscuits together with the yogurt cream, then top with the berries. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
