- Summary
- A home-made twist on this iconic, round, British biscuit, filled with Original Strawberry Whole Fruit goodness.
- Ingredients:
- 115g unsalted butter
- 115g caster sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 275g plain flour
- 1 jar Cottage Delight Original Strawberry Whole Fruit Jam
- 1 tbsp icing sugar for dusting
Cooking Method
Lightly grease 2/3 (depending on size) baking trays.
Put the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat together until well incorporated (pale and creamy).
Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat together.
Sift over the flour and mix to a crumbly dough.
Gather the dough together and knead with your hands on a lightly floured surface until smooth. If the dough is sticky, work in a small amount of flour.
Shape the dough into a flat disc, wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 40 minutes.
Roll half the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of approximately 3 mm.
Use a 6 cm round cutter to stamp out 21 circles, re-rolling the dough as necessary. Place on one of the baking trays.
Repeat this process with the second half of the dough – then use a 3 cm round cutter to stamp out the centres of these circles. Place on the baking trays.
Put the baking trays in fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas Mark 4.
Once chilled, bake the biscuits for 12-14 minutes, or until crisp and pale golden. (Don’t worry if the centres are still soft, they will harden once cooled.) Leave biscuits to cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack.
To assemble, spread 1 tsp of Cottage Delight Original Whole Fruit Jam on each whole biscuit, then sandwich with the cut out biscuits.
Lightly dust with icing sugar before serving.
