Jammie Dodgers are celebrated British biscuit sandwiches made using shortbread and raspberry jam. This type of jam biscuit is commonly made in bakery, cake shops and coffee shops.
Ingredients
1½ cup caster sugar (165 g)
330 g unsalted butter
1 egg
500 g self raising flour
Method
Place butter and sugar in a bowl, mix evenly together, Add eggs and mix evenly again. Add flour and finished mixing until the shortbread is evenly mixed. Place in a plastic bag in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Remove from the fridge and roll out to a 3 mm thickness. Cut round shapes out of the dough with a cutter and place on a paper covered baking tray. Cut smaller holes in the middle of half the biscuits. Bake in a preheated 180ºC oven for approx. 12 minutes. Allow cooling before sandwiching the biscuits together with strawberry jam and sifting icing sugar on top
Note: Use this shortbread for all types of cakes and slices that requires shortbread. Keep leftover shortbread in a closed container in the fridge. For a firmer, crunchier dough use plain flour instead of self raising flour.
