Ingredients for biscuits: 220gm (appx 7 oz)  butter 1/2 cup icing sugar 2 tablespoons grated mandarin rind 1 tablespoon cornflour 1 cup plain flour 1/2 cup self-raising flour Extra icing sugar	Ingredients for biscuit filling: 60gm (appx 2 oz)  butter 1 cup icing sugar 2 tablespoons mandarin juice

	Method: Allow the butter to warm to room temperature, then mix the butter, sifted icing sugar and mandarin rind together in a mixing bowl until soft and creamy. Add the cornflour to the mix and blend it in well Then add the sifted flours to the mix, and beat well again until smooth Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tube attachment with the mix, and pipe it into 2.5cm (appx 1 inch) shapes on a lightly greased oven tray Bake the biscuits in a moderate oven for around 15 minutes or until pale golden brown Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack To prepare the mandarin cream filling, beat the softened b utter and sifted icing sugar together until smooth, gradually adding the mandarin juice as you do so When the biscuits are cool, spread the filling over the base of one biscuit and sandwich another biscuit on top Dust the completed biscuits with the sifted extra icing sugar

	Notes: This recipe will make approximately 15 biscuits If you don't have a piping tube and/or star attachment, you can simply spoon the mix onto an oven tray. The biscuits will look much plainer, but will taste just as delicious.
