Jam-filled biscuits (shortcrust pastry)

Method

  1. Work the flour, cold diced butter, sugar, eggs, lemon zest and salt together quickly, until you have a smooth ball of dough.
  2. Wrap it in cling film and rest it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Roll the pastry out to 4 mm and cut an even number of discs with a pastry cutter.
  4. Place a teaspoon of thick jam in the centre of half the discs, keeping well clear of the edges.
  5. Cover with the remaining discs and seal the edges firmly, pressing with the tines of a fork.
  6. Bake in a conventional oven at 170°C (340°F) for 14-16 minutes. Leave to cool and dust with icing sugar.
