The Perfect Dinner: Chips & Biscuits
Jam Fingerprint Biscuits -- scoring high on the cute factor
We had a late start this morning and didn't get around to breakfast until almost mid-day. The most productive thing I did was collect a parcel at the post, which was my last Christmas gift to myself: Vegetarian Supercook by Rose Elliot
I spent way too much time "oohing", "aahing" and squeaking with delight at Cute Overload; a website that exists for no other reason that to display cute objects, mostly animals. I decided to make some really small biscuits that I could call cute and gobble up. I modified this recipe and used wholemeal flour instead. They were so good we ate them almost immediately after the jam had cooled enough to not scorch the roofs of our mouths. It's a rather simple recipe that produces one yummy treat. Dinner for today consisted of these jam biscuits and oven roasted paprika potato wedges -- we ate the wedges before I could take their photograph. Rather yum as well.
Jam Fingerprints (makes 12 very small biscuits)
55 g Flora or butter
35 g raw sugar
1 egg yolk
75 g wholemeal flour
24 g jam, any flavour of choice
1. Preheat your oven to 190ºC. Cream the butter, egg yolk and sugar in a bowl until smooth. Slowly add the flour while mixing until everything is combined. The dough should be slightly sticky and smooth. Divide the dough into 12 portions, roll into balls and place on an oiled baking tray. Use your index finger to form a small indentation in the centre of each ball. Fill each indentation with 2 g of jam in your flavour of choice and bake for 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a baking rack too cool and enjoy!
