Jammy Dodgers

Method

• step 1

  Cream the butter and icing sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.

• step 2

  Mix in the flour. You may need to add more or less flour. It needs to be a soft dough which you are able to roll out.

• step 3

  Roll out dough on a floured surface. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out rounds and lay on a lined baking tray.

• step 4

  Using a small round cutter, cut out small circles from half of the biscuit rounds.

• step 5

  Bake at 220'C for 5-10 minutes. The biscuits should still be pale but slightly golden on the tips and on the bottom of the biscuits.

• step 6

  While the biscuits are cooling on a wire rack, make the icing.

• step 7

  Beat the icing sugar and butter until the mixture comes together. Add in the vanilla and milk and beat for 5 minutes on high speed. The icing should be light and very fluffy!

• step 8

  spread the icing on the biscuits without a hole and sandwich with a biscuit that does have a hole! Fill the hole with strawberry jam. I like to sprinkle the biscuits with caster or icing sugar.
