Add flour and baking powder and mix until just combined. Divide dough into 20 pieces (approx. 1 tbsp each) and place onto baking trays. Using lightly floured hands, roll each piece into a ball. Press down lightly with a fork.

Bake:

Allow biscuits to cool for 5 minutes on tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Spread or pipe icing onto the bottom of one biscuit. Sandwich with a second biscuit to form pairs. Lightly dust with icing sugar before serving.
