Whoopie Pies

INGREDIENTS

125g butter, at room temperature
160g (1 cup, lightly packed) brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
50g (½ cup) cocoa powder, sifted
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
300g (2 cups) plain flour
330ml (1 ⅓ cups) buttermilk

METHOD

Preheat oven to 190°C. Line 2 baking trays with non-
stick baking paper. Use an electric beater to beat the
butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl until pale and creamy.
Beat in the egg.
Stir in the cocoa and bicarbonate of soda to combine.
Use a metal spoon to fold in flour and buttermilk, in
alternating batches, until just smooth. The mixture
should be a little stiff.
Use a 3cm-diameter ice-cream scoop to place rounds of
the mixture onto prepared trays, leaving 5cm for
spreading. Use your finger to smooth mixture around the
edges.
Bake, swapping the trays halfway through cooking, for 10
minutes or until firm. Cool slightly. Place on a wire rack
to cool completely
