40 mins
Suitable for beginners
  • Ingredients

    • 200g salted butter
    • 200g caster sugar
    • 1 medium egg
    • 1tsp vanilla extract
    • 320g plain Flour
    • ½tsp baking powder
    • 50g raspberry jam
  • 1. Begin by pre-heating the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/GM4 and lining two large baking trays with non-stick baking paper. 

    2. In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and smooth.

    3. Add the egg and the vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

    4. Next, sieve the flour and the baking powder into the bowl and mix together until a soft dough is formed.

    5. Roll the dough into 3cm balls and place them onto the baking trays, leaving enough room for the biscuits to spread in the oven. Gently press the centre of each biscuit with your thumb to create a hollow in the centre.

    6. Add ½tsp of jam to the centre of each biscuit or until the hollow is filled.

    7. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until very lightly coloured. Leave to cool on the tray for around ten minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
