Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Rub the flour, sugar and butter together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, you can do this in the food processor. Add enough egg to bring the mixture together to form a stiff dough.
  2. Flour your hands and shape the dough into a tube, about 5cm in diameter. Cut into 2cm-thick slices and place on a large baking sheet. Space them out as the mixture will spread when baking.
  3. Make a small indentation in the middle of each slice with the end of a wooden spoon, and drop a tsp of jam in the centre. Bake for 10-15 mins until slightly risen and just golden. Cool on a wire rack.

    These are great. Really easy to make. Going to make a second batch today and will try adding dessicated coconut as someone suggested. Kids love them.

    These are really easy to make and are really good too! They are best warm from the oven, but still good cold. A great choice if you want to whip up something quick, or if you're baking with children. Also easy to double/triple/etc up on batch size.

    Gorgeous, my 6 and 2 yr old helped me with this easily. The biscuits are huge, I made 6 big ones and then 12 smaller ones that were half the size. Very easy and very popular!

    Very easy to make and very yummy. I didn;t measure the last time I made this and when it seemed a little dry I added some banana instead of more egg and although I'm personally not a fan of banana flavoured food my husband 3 children very quickly devoured the lot.

    Lovely biscuits. Due to my son's allergy to eggs, I used 60ml of buttermilk & 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract to replace the egg. The result: a cross between a biscuit & a scone. My family loved them. Will definitely make again.

    Made these in no time at all, they are so, so simple. Most people will have all the basic ingredients in their home already.

    These are really tasty, really quick and easy to make and fun to do with the kids. On our second batch in two days. Definately a winner in our house.

    Quick, easy and tasty. I don't bother making the tube I make balls, flatten them a bit with my hand and stick my thumb in to make the space for the jam.

    Just made my first batch. I used the ingredients stated + 50g coconut (Possibly could have used 100g, add when you are making the 'breadcrumbs'). I also rolled out on the bench to about 2cm thick but they do spread out once cooking, so I would suggest 1cm thick (I didn't roll as a tube then cut). I'm going to try with 1 or 2tsp cinnamon next time instead of coconut. These are a lovely tasting and easy to cook biscuits. I used my home made Blackberry and Raspberry jam, DEE-LICIOUS!
