Recipe type: baking
Serves: 24
What you'll need
  • 125g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence/extract
  • 1½ cups plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Jam of your choice
Instructions
  1. Cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla. Add in the egg and mix until well combined. Gradually add sifted flour and baking powder and mix until a dough forms.
  2. If you have a thermomix then process the butter, sugar and vanilla on speed 5 for 20-30 seconds and scrape down the bowl. Add the egg and process 20 seconds speed 4. Add in flour and baking powder and process for about 30-40 seconds on speed 3 until a dough forms.
  3. Place small teaspoonfuls of mixture in round balls on lined baking trays.
  4. Press down gently with a thumbprint and place a small amount of jam in that indent.
  5. Don't go crazy with the jam.
  6. Bake in a preheated 160 degree oven for about 15 minutes and don't overcook the biscuit or the jam will change appearance.
  7. Remove from oven, leave to cool a couple of minutes on the tray before moving to a cooling rack. I like to add in a dash more jam to each biscuit at this point and it makes them look a bit prettier.
  8. Eat and enjoy.
