The instruction how to make Passionfruit shortbread eggs recipe

1. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and icing sugar for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Sift over plain flour and cornflour. Stir to combine. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 170C/150C fan-forced. Grease 2 large baking trays. Line with baking paper.
3. Using a rolling pin, roll out dough between 2 sheets of baking paper until 3mm thick. Using a 5.5cm x 7.5cm oval cutter, cut 24 ovals from dough, re-rolling and cutting trimmings. Place, 2cm apart, on prepared baking trays. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Using a 3cm round cutter and the picture as a guide, cut rounds from 12 ovals and discard. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until just firm to touch, but not browned. Stand on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Meanwhile, make Passionfruit Curd: Place egg, egg yolk, sugar and cornflour in a small, heavy-based saucepan. Whisk to combine. Add butter and passionfruit pulp. Place over medium heat.
