INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Pre-heat your oven to 170°c (150°c for fan assisted ovens or Gas Mark 4) and grease a couple of baking sheets with a little butter/margarine.
  • Rub the flour, butter and icing sugar together until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Add the egg yolk and mix into a dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and pop it in the fridge for around 30 minutes.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out to around 1cm thickness. Cut your biscuits out into circles and on one of half the biscuits, cut an additional shape from the middle (love heart being the obvious choice!).
  • Place your biscuits onto your pre-greased baking tray and bake in your pre-heated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until they are a light golden colour around the edges.
  • Once the biscuits are cool enough to handle (but still a little warm) sandwich them together with a spoonful of jam for each biscuit.
  • Finish with a dusting of a little sugar, if desired.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All my recipes are developed using a digital scale and the metric system (grams and millilitres). Cup measurements are available as a conversion but these, unfortunately, won't always be as accurate. For best results, I always recommend baking with a digital scale.
