Simple Jammie Biscuits

Makes 12

• 200g self-raising flour
• 100g caster sugar
• 100g butter
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 4 tbsp strawberry jam

Heat oven to 190°c/170°c Fan/gas 5

Method

Rub the flour, sugar and butter together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Add enough egg to bring the mixture together to form a stiff dough.

Flour your hands and shape the dough into a sausage, about 5cm in diameter. Cut into 2cm slices and place on a large baking sheet, well spaced, as they will spread when baking.

Make a small dent in the middle of each with the end of a wooden spoon, them drop in a teaspoon of jam.

Bake for 10/15 minutes until slightly risen and just golden. Cool on a wire rack.
