I’ve often seen these glass-effect biscuits on the internet, but I had never tried to bake them.

For Valentine’s Day I wanted to bake something new and with a wow effect, so I searched for some recipes on the web and I found these biscuits, and surprise… They are very  easy to make

As a base I preferred to use my shortcrust pastry, which is super tested and for the glass effect I used the gummy bears…   needless to say that they didn’t make it to Valentine’s Day, because they were finished in ten minutes

Prepare the shortcrust pastry for the biscuits

Pour the flour, icing sugar, lactose free butter and vanilla into the kitchen planetary mixer and mix with a K-beater until the mixture is large crumbs.

Add yolks and salt, and mix until the mixture is homogeneous. Form a loaf and let it rest in the fridge at 4° C for at least 2 hours.

Remove the loaf from the fridge, roll out the shortcrust pastry to a thickness of 4 mm and cut hearts with the 5.5 cm pastry cutter, for every biscuit make a hole for the glass using the other cutter.

Leave the biscuits to rest in the fridge at 4° C for 20 minutes, in the meantime preheat the convection oven to 175° C.

You can rework the shortcrust pastry and make other biscuits, or bake the small hearts separately and eat them. 

Bake the biscuits at 170 °C for 10 minutes, remove the dripping pan and place the gummy bears into the hole of the biscuits, lower the oven to 160° C and bake them for 3 minutes or until the gummy bears will melt.

Lavender biscuits (Gluten and lactose free)

When I go out into the garden and smell the lavender, my memory receptors are activated; today I wanted  throw in also a food memory, so I thought to try to prepare biscuits with whipped gluten and lactose free shortcrust pastry.

The smell of these biscuits is unmistakable and persistent, but the taste is very delicate and it’s perfect with coffee at the end of the dinner, or for a tea with friends.

These biscuits are without gluten and lactose, and so they are suitable for almost everyone, but in addition to this, it’s important to remember that lavender has anti-inflammatory, relaxing and digestive properties, so it’s a cure-all for the body.
