Mixed Berry Jam

200g butter, softened
1/4 cup Chelsea Icing Sugar
1 3/4 cup plain flour
1/4 cup custard powder

Preheat oven to 170°C and grease or line a tray with baking paper.
Mix butter with Chelsea Icing Sugar until smooth. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Roll heaped teaspoon sized balls of dough and place on tray. Use the handle end of a wooden spoon to press into centre of ball, stopping before it touches the bottom.
Fill centre with jam of your choice or use the quick and easy jam recipe link below. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until pale golden.
First time making these, my kids & partner ate them all. Very pleased will surely be making more from now on. Thanks
Do I have to use Chelsea icing sugar or can I use white sugar?
CHELSEA: Hi there, we recommend using icing sugar as this gives the biscuits a really nice shortbread-like texture.
This was a crumbly mess. The recipe was followed to a T, and the buiscuits just fell apart into crumbs all over the cookie pan. I could not make a well for the jam due to the flimsiness of this recipe. Terrible.
also nice if you add a few drops of almond essence to dough, using raspberry jam.....a recipe my aunty used when we were little..
My kids love these biscuits they are great when I don't have any eggs. I also change the custard powder for cocoa and the jam for a white choc button. Just as yummy :)
I made these for my partner who has been missing "jammy dodgers" and they were a perfect supplement - but I think they were even better :)
Turned out great, loved by all my kids even the fussy one. I used jam for the kids, and Barkers passionfruit curd to take for morning tea, they were delicious
