Ingredients

2 cup all-purpose flour plus extra flour for dusting work surface
¾ teaspoons baking powder
½ cup milk (whole or skim)
1 teaspoons vanilla extract or almond extract
½ cup salted butter at room temperature
3 tablespoons brown sugar
½ cup guava paste
1 cup powdered white sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F [150°C].

2. Mixing dry ingredients

Mix flour and baking powder. Set aside

3. Mixing liquids

In a separate bowl beat butter and brown sugar until the butter has turned a very light yellow. Add milk and flour alternating between the two until they are well mixed.
