Cooking Club trial biscuits! 😋

[Moomin8]

As some of you lovely people might already know, I work in a primary school. A friend and I run an after-school cooking club. We are making jammy biscuits this week, so it was only right that I should trial the recipe and carry out a taste test. Conclusion: very easy to make and so, so yummy! 😋 😋

I have replied to my post with the recipe - scroll down to find 🙃

You have just transported me back to my childhood - I used to bake these with Mum 😃 happy days!

They look very tasty!! Whose recipe did you use? This makes good break from our problems.

Oh that reminds me of the disaster I had baking buns at school….aged about 9!

I was so ashamed of my efforts..I deliberately left them on the bus on the way home!

Afraid my cake making never improved!

They look delicious. My baking has never been great! When I was working I used to run two after school clubs - a gardening one and an art one.

SIMPLE JAMMY BISCUITS

Prep: 25 minutes. Cook time: 10-12 minutes in 190°C/Gas mark 5 oven (close eye after 10 mins.)

Makes 12.

Ingredients

200g Self Raising flour

100g Caster Sugar

100g Butter

1 egg (lightly beaten)

6-8 teaspoons Jam (approx)

Method

Step 1

Heat oven to 190°C/ Gas 5

Rub flour, sugar and butter together until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Add enough egg so that mixture comes together to form a stiff dough. If you add too much egg, and it becomes sticky, add a little more flour.

Step 2

Flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 equal-sized balls.

Grease and flour a baking sheet or use a silicone-baking sheet (no need to grease and flour the silicone-baking sheet).

Evenly place the balls on the tray, allowing room for the biscuits to spread slightly.

Step 3

Slightly squash the biscuits down and make an indentation with your thumb, or the end of a wooden spoon. See image 1.

Put about ½ tsp, or so, of jam in the indentation. Make sure you do not overfill them.

Bake for 10-12 minutes in the oven until light golden and slightly risen. See image 2.

Place on wire rack to cool.

These delicious, jammy biscuits taste even better when completely cooled.

Store in airtight container.

Is caster sugar called granulated sugar in the USA?

[Moomin8]

Castor sugar is slightly finer than granulated sugar.
