Phillis' Jam Drops

Flipping through Grandma's recipes and I notice that occasionally the recipe isn't complete. Some of the recipes are just a list of ingredients, without a method. This is one of those recipes, except that not only was it missing the method it was also missing one of the main ingredients! The Jam! Luckily that is pretty self-explanatory from the name and the mix is an easy one to put together.

These jam drops are so good too! Crisp on the outside with a soft centre and the biscuit is not too sweet so the jam becomes the main flavour. Definitely going on my list of baking regulars!

So the recipe from Grandma is below and then below that is the method I used tonight when I made them.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

¼ cup sugar

1 egg

1 cup S.R Flour

Method

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and beat together. Mix in flour and then roll teaspoonfuls of the mixture and place on a greased baking tray. Press down in the centre of each biscuit to make a well. Spoon a little jam into each well (I used raspberry).

Bake at 180 degrees for about 12 minutes or until cooked through and browning on top.
