Creating the Perfect Biscuit Dough
The foundation of a great Jammie Dodger lies in the biscuit dough.
Using softened unsalted butter and icing sugar, cream them together until light and fluffy.
Incorporating vanilla extract adds a fragrant touch to the mix, enhancing the overall flavor.
Gradually folding in plain flour and a pinch of salt helps form a cohesive dough.
Avoid overworking the mixture to keep the biscuits tender.
Once combined, the dough is ready to be rolled out and shaped.
Shaping and Baking Your Biscuits
Lightly flour your work surface to prevent sticking while rolling out the dough to about 5mm thick.
Using a cookie cutter, create shapes, ensuring half have a hole in the center to showcase the jam.
This step not only enhances the visual appeal but also allows the vibrant raspberry filling to shine through.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven until they are lightly golden, which typically takes around 10-12 minutes.
Let them cool completely on a wire rack, allowing their flavors to settle before assembling.
Assembling the Jammie Dodgers
Once your biscuits are cool, it’s time to assemble those delightful treats.
Spread a generous layer of raspberry jam on each whole biscuit.
Top with the cut-out biscuits and gently press down to create a sandwich.
For an elegant touch, consider dusting with icing sugar before serving.
This adds a lovely finishing touch that elevates their presentation, perfect for serving at tea time or special occasions.
