Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200’C and line your baking tray with greaseproof paper

Step 2

In a large bowl, add your flour and butter and a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Rub the butter between your fingertips until the mixture looks like sand.

Step 4

Add the sugar and mix with your fingers so it is fully combined

Step 5

Add the egg and squeeze the mixture in your hands until it forms a soft ball. If it won’t come together add some water (1 teaspoon at a time) until it does.

Step 6

Divide your mixture into 12. Roll each into a ball (about the size of a golf ball) and place on your tray. If you wish to roll each ball in the extra sugar, do it at this point.

Step 7

With your thumb make a well in the centre top of your biscuit.

Step 8

Add a little jam/ filling in the hole.

Step 9

Bake for 10 – 12 minutes until brown and slightly risen.

Step 10

Take out the oven and leave to cool for as long as possible (at least 5 minutes) before putting into your container.
