Guava Biscuits

Guava Biscuits

Ingredients:

500g all purpose flour

200g unsalted butter

1 cup milk

1 tbsp baking powder

250g guava paste (for the filling)

1 egg white (beaten, to brush the top)

2 cup crystallized sugar (to coat)

Directions:

Slice the guava paste into small strips and reserve. Grease two 12×16 inches pan. Pre-heat oven to 350°F.

Mix the dough ingredients, the flour, butter, milk and baking powder. Mix until smooth. Divide the dough in two and reserve one half in a plastic bag. Roll out one half on a floured surface into a rectangle (not to thin). Cut into smaller rectangles (3×2 inches), put a guava paste strip in the center and role up the dough and pinch edge together to seal. Brush the top of the biscuits with the egg white and coat only the top with the crystallized sugar. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes (or until the bottom of the biscuits turn brown). Repeat the process with the other half.
