RASPBERRY ALMOND SHORTBREAD THUMBPRINTS



Raspberry Almond Shortbread Thumbprints image

This is a great recipe I stumbled across on the inside of a Land O Lakes butter box! I remember thinking that it looked good but recipes inside boxes couldn't possibly be good. Boy was I wrong.

AUSTRIAN RASPBERRY/BLUEBERRY SHORTBREAD



Austrian Raspberry/Blueberry Shortbread image

I actually first saw their Austrian Shortbread recipe years ago in Gourmet Magazine. I was intrigued with the interesting yet simple technique involved in achieving an extremely light textured shortbread (see recipe). I originally made it just as the recipe specifies layering raspberry jam between the two layers, but recently decided to try a less sweet and simpler version, using fresh fruit mixed with a bit of sugar, flour and lemon. Both versions are delicious but with fresh fruit so abundant and beautiful at the moment, I opted for this blueberry/raspberry rendition today...and no one seemed to complain!!

Provided by The Cafe Sucre Fari

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

7 ounces butter, slightly softened
2 egg yolks
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup fresh raspberry
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Cream the butter in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer) until soft and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla and mix well.
  • Mix the granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add to the butter and egg yolk mixture and mix just until incorporated and the dough starts to come together. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and form into two balls. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and freeze at least 2 hours or overnight (or as long as a month, if you like).
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 8x8 or 9x9 square baking pan or a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. (I use Baker's Joy spray).
  • Remove one ball of dough from the freezer and coarsely grate it by hand or with the grating disk in a food processor into the bottom of the greased baking pan (or tart pan). Make sure the surface is covered evenly with shreds of dough.
  • Gently mix the blueberries, raspberries and the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Mix sugar, flour, lemon zest in a small bowl until combined, then add to blueberry/raspberry mixture and mix gently with your hand to coat the berries with the flour mixture.
  • Cover the bottom layer of dough with the blueberry mixture as evenly as possible, gently pressing the berries into the dough. Remove the remaining dough from the freezer and coarsely grate it over the entire surface. (I grate this second ball of dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, then sprinkle over the berries.).
  • Place in oven and cover lightly with foil, bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil. Continue baking until lightly golden brown and the center no longer wiggles, about 20-30 minutes longer. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • After the shortbread is cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired or drizzle with lemon glaze. For lemon glaze, mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add enough milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, to thin out to thick drizzling consistency.
  • Cool on a wire rack, then cut in the pan with a serrated knife. Chilling the pan in the fridge makes it a lot easier to get clean cuts.
  • Adapted from Butter Sugar Flour Eggs.

A delicious shortbread topped with jam and coconut! From an old Country Womans Association cookbook in Australia. In imperial measures as this was well before metric arrived!

Provided by JoyfulCook

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 16-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces butter
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1 1/2 cups desiccated unsweetened coconut
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon raspberry jam

Steps:

  • Line a roasting dish with foil, leaving enough room at either end so you can immediately lift it out.
  • Beat butter and half of the sugar to a cream. Add 1 beaten egg; mix well, then add the flour. Knead well and cover the base of the pan with the shortbread. It is easy to take small pieces and flatten in your hand first. Spread thinly with raspberry jam.
  • Mix the remaining sugar with 1 egg, adding the coconut mix together well. Carefully add all over the top, using a fork to cover properly. Bake at 150°C (300°F) for about 30 minutes. Coconut should be nicely browned.
  • Lift out the shortbread as soon as its cooked - using the extra foil on both sides of the roasting dish, place on a cutting board then cut into squares immediately and leave to cool.
  • PLEASE NOTE: Don't use sweetened coconut as the sugar in it melts and the syrup from it dilutes the base.

Let cool, then dust with confectioners' sugar.

Tips for Making Raspberry Shortbread:

  • Choose the right ingredients. Use high-quality butter, flour, and sugar. Fresh, ripe raspberries will give you the best flavor.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the shortbread hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough. This will help you get clean, even slices.
  • Bake the shortbread until it is golden brown. Keep an eye on it so that it doesn't overcook.
  • Let the shortbread cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the shortbread to firm up.
