Jam Drops

Sorry it is a day late, this time of year is a little INSANE! But better late than never. Especially when it involves Jam Drops! Thank you Mama Mariani. x

OK, so you know how I said those blue ribbons are addictive? Well I did enter a few categories in their pursuit. And one that I was triumphant in was the … Jam Drop!

To be honest, I had never really made them before, I was just keen to give them a go. The ones I made for the show really were perfect, I was so pleased with them. I have made them a few times since with varying results. I have learnt that the oven can be too hot, or the mix to airy. Always learning.

Jam Drops

What You Need

• 120g butter
• 100g caster sugar
• Teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg
• 190g self raising flour
• Raspberry jam (home made if you can)

What You Need to Do

1. Preheat oven to 170˚C.
2. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla together until pale.
3. Add the egg and beat in well.
4. Fold through flour.
5. Roll or small balls of mixture, using a little plain flour on your hands I’d the mix is too sticky. Place onto a lined baking tray and press down slightly.
6. Dip your finger in flour and make an indentation in the center of the biscuit.
7. Fill the dent with 1 tsp of raspberry jam
8. Bake for 12 to 15 mins
9. Enjoy. x

Ps. My raspberry jam is a winner too, next week I will share my secrets to jammy goodness.
