Festive Orange Jam Biscuit

Makes approximately 10 biscuits

Ingredients: Method:
  • 200g butter
  • 75g caster sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 300g flour
  • Raspberry or strawberry jam, seedless
  1. Cream the butter and sugar together, add the egg yolk and grated orange zest.
  2. Add the flour and gently mix to create a dough. Form the dough into a large sausage shape, wrap in cling film, and place it in the fridge for 2 hours.
  3. Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out to a thickness of about 3 to 4mm. Cut shapes from your dough using your desired shape cutter. Create an equal amount of each shape, as each biscuit requires a top and a bottom. Cut a hole or a shape (using a small cutter) on half of the biscuits (these will be the top biscuit where you will see the jam through).
  4. Place the dough shapes onto a flat, greased baking sheet and place into the oven at 160˚C for approximately 10 minutes or until light brown.
  5. Take out of the oven and leave to cool on the tray.
  6. Place a teaspoonful of jam onto the biscuit bases and spread the jam out a little. Dust some icing sugar over the biscuit tops, then place them onto the jam-covered bases and squash them down a little until the jam oozes out of the cut shape.
