Ingredients
To make Jammie Dodgers, you'll need the following ingredients:
225g unsalted butter, softened
115g caster sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
250g plain flour
50g cornflour
1/4 tsp salt
Strawberry jam (or any other jam of your choice)
Icing sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Now that you have all the ingredients, let's get started with the recipe:
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
Step 2: Make the biscuit dough
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until it's light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix well. Then, add the flour, cornflour, and salt, and mix until a dough forms.
Step 3: Roll out the dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Using a cookie cutter, cut out circles of dough (about 2 inches in diameter). You should get around 20-24 circles.
Step 4: Make the biscuit tops
Using a smaller cookie cutter (about 1 inch in diameter), cut out the centers of half of the circles. These will be the top biscuits.
Step 5: Assemble the biscuits
Place the whole circles of dough onto a lined baking tray. Spoon a small amount of jam onto the center of each biscuit. Place the cut-out circles on top of the jam and press down gently.
Step 6: Bake the biscuits
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until they're lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7: Add the finishing touches
Once the biscuits are cool, dust them with icing sugar. Your Jammie Dodgers are now ready to serve.
