Dentures

To prepare the dentures, beat the room-temperature butter cut into pieces in a stand mixer with the sugar 1 until you get a light and fluffy mixture. Add the pinch of salt 2 and the egg 3. Continue beating until all the ingredients are well combined.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder 4 and the potato starch. Transfer the butter, sugar, and egg mixture to another bowl and sift the dry ingredients over it 5, then incorporate them with a spatula from bottom to top, and mix by slowly adding the cream and finally the vanilla bean seeds 6.

Finally, add the food coloring, enough to get a bright pink 7. Transfer the obtained mixture into a piping bag 8 with a smooth nozzle of 1/2-3/4 inch diameter and pipe mounds of mixture with a diameter of 1-1/2 inches and at least 3/4 inches high onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper 9. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 13-14 minutes, then remove and let the colored whoopies cool.

When they are well-cooled, generously brush the flat part of the discs with the apricot jam 10. Then cut the marshmallows into 1/2 inch thick cylinders from which, with a small knife, you will cut squares: you will have obtained the teeth for the dentures 11. Place the marshmallow teeth along the perimeter of 8 discs (you can cover the entire perimeter or just half of it, as shown in the photo, placing only two cubes in the back as support) 12, then close the sandwich with the remaining discs and let everything dry. Your dentures are ready, happy Halloween!!!
