Crumble cookies with pear and lime preserve

Crumble cookies alla composta di pera e lime

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 jar pear & lime fruit preserve
  • 400 g type 00 flour
  • 140 g caster sugar
  • 150 g unsalted butter, cold
  • 1 small egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 8 g baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 50 g shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

METHOD

  1. Place the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar into a food processor and pulse briefly to combine. Add the cold butter, cut into small pieces, and blend until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the lightly beaten egg and yolk, then pulse just until the dough begins to come together.
  2. Use your fingers to quickly form the mixture into slightly larger, uneven crumble clusters.
  3. Using a metal ring (5–6 cm in diameter) as a mould, spoon a portion of the crumble mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Gently press it down to create a base. Place a teaspoon of the fruit preserve in the centre, then scatter a little more crumble mixture around the edges along with some chopped pistachios.
  4. Repeat the process to form the remaining biscuits. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan 160°C) for about 15–20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow to cool on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.
