Instructions
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 180°C and lightly grease 2 baking sheets with a little melted butter
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add corn flour and plain and icing sugars and combine. Pour in the melted butter and stir again. Turn the mixture on to a clean, dry work surface and knead to form a soft dough, about 3-5 mins. Wrap in cling wrap and place in refrigerator for 30-45 mins to firm up
Step 3
Lightly dust a clean work surface with a little extra corn flour and, using a rolling pin, roll out dough to a 1cm thickness. Using a 5cm-diameter pastry cutter, cut out 24 round discs. Place discs on the prepared baking sheets and bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 mins or until they turn golden brown at the edges
Step 4
Remove from oven and allow to cool on the sheets for 10 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
Step 5
Once biscuits have cooled, spread a thick layer of dulce de leche over half of them. Place remaining biscuits on top, pressing down very lightly to secure
Step 6
Roll the edges of the biscuits in the desiccated coconut and dust the tops with icing sugar
