Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Rub the flour, sugar and butter together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, you can do this in the food processor. Add enough egg to bring the mixture together to form a stiff dough.

  • step 2

    Flour your hands and shape the dough into a tube, about 5cm in diameter. Cut into 2cm-thick slices and place on a large baking sheet. Space them out as the mixture will spread when baking.

  • step 3

    Make a small indentation in the middle of each slice with the end of a wooden spoon, and drop a tsp of jam in the centre. Bake for 10-15 mins until slightly risen and just golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Hi everyone. I've made those biscuits today, but I've made few changes. I've added 70 g of caster sugar and 30 g of coconut milk powder. Also, would be easier to cut into shape and biscuits will be more crunchy when we place the dough to the freezer for 30min -1 hour. Then, cutting is just as easy…

Lovely, quick & easy, tasty, lightweight texture & look good with the jam in middle. I did a mix of jam fillings for choice. Raspberry worked well too! Will make these again for sure!

So easy and for once, something I baked turned out pretty close to the picture :) My son and I made them together again, substituting choc chips second time round.

This is a good recipe. I veganised it successfully by using vegan block margarine instead of butter, and swapping the egg for a tablespoon of grounr flax dissolved in about 4 tablespoons of water.

question

Can I make dough in advance and keep in fridge? And if so for how many days will it last?

Hi, thanks for your question. Because the dough contains self raising flour it needs to be baked shortly after being made. However you can freeze the dough and bake direct from frozen, adding about 2-4 mins to baking time. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
