Ingredients
- 250 g unsalted butter
- 75 g (⅓ cup) caster sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 250 g (1⅓ cups) plain flour, plus extra, to dust
- 100 g fine semolina
- 150 g Turkish delight, chopped into 44 pieces
- icing sugar, to dust
Cooling time 15 minutes
Chilling time 4 hours 10 minutes
Instructions
Beat butter and sugar in an electric mixer until pale. Beat in egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in flour and semolina. Enclose in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Halve dough. Roll out each piece on a lightly floured work surface to 5 mm thick (dough should be smooth and elastic; you may have to re-roll a few times to achieve this consistency). Cut into 5 cm squares, then lay a piece of Turkish delight diagonally across each square. Fold over and overlap 2 opposite corners of dough to enclose Turkish delight. Place on 2 oven trays lined with baking paper. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Bake for 12 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool, then dust with icing sugar, to serve.
