Ingredients

Scale

For the Biscuits:

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup (130g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup (160g) raspberry or strawberry jam (or your favorite jam)

For Dusting:

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
    • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
    • Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Roll and Cut the Dough:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch (6mm) thickness.
    • Use a round cookie cutter (about 2 inches or 5cm in diameter) to cut out the biscuits.
    • Use a smaller cutter to cut out the centers of half of the cookies to create the top biscuits with holes.
    • Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the Biscuits:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
    • Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Assemble the Jammie Dodgers:
    • Spread a small amount of jam on the flat side of the whole biscuits.
    • Place the biscuits with the holes on top, pressing gently to sandwich the jam.
    • Dust the top with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing and a better texture.
  • Refrigerating the dough helps to prevent the biscuits from spreading too much during baking.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep the biscuits fresh.
