form a ball:
Finally, seal with cling film and place in the fridge for 1 hour and a half / 2 hours
Then roll out the dough with the help of a rolling pin to a thickness of 3 – 4 mm no more.
I recommend that the dough sheet must be cold before forming the biscuits, otherwise the shapes will not be perfect! If it feels soft, put it in the fridge on a cutting board for 15 minutes.
Make circles and for half of these circles, cut a smaller circle in the center:
As you make them, place them in a baking tray lined with parchment paper and then in the fridge.
Bake in a hot, static oven at 180 ° for about 12 minutes, they must not burn!
Finally unmold and let cool.
Once cold, stuff the base with a spoonful of jam and then add the pierced circle without crushing too much:
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve! Yours are ready Bull's-eye biscuits!
You can keep the biscuits without filling (ready to be filled for about 3 weeks closed in a tin box or cookie jar)
Once filled, you can keep them in the fridge for about 3 – 4 days!
