Ingredients
- 250g Co-op plain flour
- 80g cornflour
- 225g Co-op unsalted butter, softened
- 100g Fairtrade caster sugar, plus 1 tbsp
- 100g jam (we used raspberry, apricot and blackcurrant)
Method
- Sift together both flours
- Beat the butter and the 100g sugar until light and fluffy
- Mix in the dry ingredients to make a dough
- Shape into a ball and cover with cling film, then chill for 15 mins
- Halve the dough, then put one half between two sheets of greaseproof paper
- Roll out to a thickness of around ½ cm, then cut out 14 circles, each 8cm in diameter
- Repeat with the remaining dough, then transfer to two lined trays and chill again for 15 mins
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/gas 4
- Cut out circles, about 2cm in diameter, from the centre of half the biscuits
- Sprinkle the tops with the remaining sugar, then bake for 12-15 mins, until golden
- Allow to cool slightly then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
- Once cooled, dollop 1 tsp of your chosen jam into the middle of each whole biscuit, before topping with a ring-shaped biscuit for a lid
