Total estimated time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add the icing sugar and continue to mix until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornflour, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating continuously until you have a smooth, soft dough.
Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle. Pipe 5cm (2-inch) circles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit for expansion.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn a light golden brown. Let the biscuits cool slightly on the sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
In a clean bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add the sifted icing sugar and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy. Transfer the buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a smaller star nozzle.
Once the biscuits are completely cool, turn half of them upside down. Pipe a swirl of buttercream onto each overturned biscuit and top with a small spoonful of raspberry jam. Sandwich with the remaining biscuits, pressing gently.
Bravo! You’ve mastered the art of crafting elegant Viennese Whirls. Enjoy the symphony of buttery biscuits, velvety buttercream, and sweet-tart raspberry jam. Whether you’re sharing them at a gathering or savoring them solo with a steaming cup of tea, these whirls promise to elevate any occasion. Experiment with different jams or even add a hint of lemon or almond to the buttercream for a twist on the classic. Share the love, and these charming treats, with friends and family!
