Classic Jam Shortcakes are a delightful treat featuring a buttery shortcake base topped with your favourite jam and topped with a boysenberry. Perfect with a cup of tea, they’re a sweet and simple delight.

Have made it several time but the first batch level with pan cup always tends to over flow so maybe just over 3/4 full would work better. Great recipe though. Also would fresh berries work better than the frozen which are quite soggy

Best recipe ever love making it my grand-daughter loves to come over and we make them together
Preheat oven to 160°C. Melt butter in a saucepan large enough to mix all the ingredients. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla essence. Sift in icing sugar, cornflour and flour and mix until combined.
Press about 2 tablespoons of mixture into greased cupcake pans to just fill the pan. Make a dent in the top of the mixture with your knuckle. Place ½ teaspoon of boysenberry jam in the dent. Top with a frozen boysenberry.
Bake in preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until cooked. Leave to cool before removing from tin.
Dust with icing sugar before serving. Makes 10-14 depending on the size of the cupcake tins
Tip: boysenberries and boysenberry jam could be substituted for raspberries and raspberry jam, or any jam and fruit of your choice.
