Jam biscuits

Intro:

Its raining since past three days and I was busy doing my embroidery for the last cushion .I was wondering how these jam biscuits are made.  I remember lavishing them since my childhood. As I scrolled over my recipe book ,I got this recipe which I had copied few years back but had no time to bake. As this recipe called for egg and I didn't have any, I preferred using milk. Hope you all will love this recipe.

Jam biscuits

Ingredients:

Refined flour 200 gms
Sugar 100 gms
Butter 100 gms
Milk 1 tbsp
Vanilla essence 1 teaspoon
Mixed fruit jam 2 teaspoon

Recipe:

 Powder the sugar. Mix the flour,sugar and butter with gentle hands until they look like breadcrumbs. Add vanilla essence and mix well. Now add milk 1 teaspoon at a time and mix. The mixture should form a soft dough. So remember that excess milk will make the dough sticky to handle. Use milk only as required.  Roll this dough into a cylinder and wrap with a cling film.  Keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. Preheat the oven at 180 c for 5 minutes. Take your dough off the fridge and remove the cling film.  Cut 1/2 inch circular discs of the cylindrical dough. Give it a proper round . Make a depression in the middle  of the disc using your little finger. Using a pointed knife spoon little jam into this depression . Place them on a baking tray. Bake it in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. If you see the biscuits are brown before the mentioned time remove them from the oven. Baking always depends upon the size of the biscuit. Cool them completely on a wire rack. The biscuits may be soft when hot ,but don't worry, once cool they will be crispy.

Note: Always refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 2 hours. This will help you get good shape and avoid  the fat of the dough sticking your palms.

 Consume them only after they have reached room temperature. Warm biscuits will be soft.
