Would you like a kiss?

Lately I have been doing a lot of baking. And when I say a lot I mean that people have been begging me to stop. I recently spent about 2 months at my mum's bach on Kawau Island, where we had plenty of guests to feed. There wasn't one day where I didn't bake something.

There is something about that kitchen by the sea which draws me like a magnet! I especially love using my mum's old 70s KitchenAid with the glass bowl that spins round.

These are called 'Kisses'. I found them in the Edmond's cookbook, and having never heard of them I was very curious to see what they looked like, and tasted like. They are basically like a cupcake batter but instead of spooning into a muffin tin you simply drop spoonfuls onto a flat baking tray, and afterwards sandwich them together with jam.
They are so yummy!

Kisses

125g butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup plain flour
1 cup cornflour
1 tsp baking powder
Rasberry jam, or jam of choice
Icing sugar

Method:

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift flour, cornflour and baking powder together. Mix into creamed mixture, stirring well. Drop small spoonfuls onto greased oven trays. Bake at 200 degrees celsius for 8 to 10 minutes until cooked but not browned. Sandwich two kisses together with rasberry jam. Sprinkle with icing sugar. Makes 20.
