Use the scaled ingredient list. Steps and temperatures stay unchanged; use a larger pan or dish if needed. Seasonings to taste stay to taste.
How to make it
Beat the softened butter with the icing sugar until pale, about four minutes.
Add the yolks one at a time, then the vanilla, zest and brandy.
Sift the cornflour with the flour, baking powder and salt and fold it in without long working.
Wrap the dough in film and refrigerate it an hour.
Roll it half a centimetre thick and cut four-centimetre rounds.
Bake at 170 °C for twelve minutes; the biscuits should stay pale, with only the underside going golden.
Cool them completely, sandwich them in pairs with dulce de leche and roll the sides in coconut.
