Myras Jam Filled Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Rub the flour, sugar and butter together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, you can do this in the food processor. Add enough egg to bring the mixture together to form a stiff dough.
• Flour your hands and shape the dough into a tube, about 5cm in diameter. Cut into 2cm-thick slices and place on a large baking sheet. Space them out as the mixture will spread when baking.
• Make a small indentation in the middle of each slice with the end of a wooden spoon, and drop a tsp of jam in the centre. Bake for 10-15 mins until slightly risen and just golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Dip each biscuit in the melted butter and roll into the cinnamon sugar. Place the coated biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your thumb or the bottom of a small tumbler to make an impression into each biscuit. Fill each indentation with about 2 teaspoons of jam. Bake until golden brown, 13 to 16 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl to blend. Freeze flour mixture 1 hour. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Transfer flour mixture to processor. Add butter and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Return mixture to large bowl. Make well in center of mixture. Add chilled buttermilk and stir just until blended and moist clumps form. Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Gather dough together and pat into 1-inch-thick round (do not knead). Using 2 3/4-inch-diameter biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits. Transfer buttermilk biscuits to large ungreased baking sheet, spacing 1§ inches apart. Gather scraps and re-pat to 1-inch thickness, then cut out additional biscuits, for a total of 9.
• Insert thumb into center of 1 biscuit, making deep indentation that almost reaches bottom, then push toward sides of biscuit to form 1-inch-diameter hole. Repeat with remaining biscuits. Spoon 1 tablespoon jam into each hole. Bake jam-filled biscuits until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve biscuits warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F.
• Grease a cookie sheet.
• Mix and sift once, then sift into a bowl: Flour, Baking powder, Salt, 2 Tbsp Sugar.
• Cut in the butter (margarine) finely.
• Combine well beaten egg with milk.
• Make a well in the flour mixture: Add liquids, mix lightly with a fork to make a soft dough. Add a little more milk, if necessary, to make a soft dough.
• Knead for 10 seconds on a lightly floured board.
• Roll out to ½ inch (about 1 cm) thickness.
• Cut out with floured 2 ½ inch (about 5 cm) cookie cutter.
• Arrange (well apart) on a greased cookie sheet.
• Make a deep impression in the centre of each round of dough.
• Brush dough with a little milk.
• Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp sugar and cinnamon.
• Drop a small amount of jam into each impression.
• Bake in preheated oven about 12 minutes.
• Serve immediately with butter (margarine).

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar.
• Add eggs, then flour and baking powder.
• Roll into small balls, put onto a baking tray and pat out flat.
• Make a hole in one of a pair (I use the lid of an essence bottle) Bake at 350 F (180 C) for 12-15 minutes or until*just* starting to turn from creamy colour to very light brown.
• Store in an air-tight container and spread with raspberry jam just before serving so that you have a"bottom" section of the cookie without a hole, and the"top" with a hole in it so that the jam shows through These dissapear so fast that I never take note of how many I get in a batch: it also makes a difference how large or small you make the balls, therefore the yield is a"guess-timate".
