For those in the Christmas spirit we have the most perfect Christmas Jam Shortbread Biscuits that allows our unique and sensational Christmas Jam to really shine for you, family and friends this Christmas.
Ingredients:
2¼ cups plain flour
Method:
1. Place butter, icing sugar and vanilla into an electric beater and beat until light and fluffy. Stir flour and rice flour into butter mixture until a soft dough forms. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth
2. Preheat oven to 160°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Half dough and form each piece into a round disc. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 25 minutes or until firm. Roll 1 disc of dough between 2 sheets of baking paper until 4mm thick. Using a 7cm round fluted biscuit cutter, cut 12 biscuits from dough and place onto a baking tray
3. Repeat with remaining dough, this time cutting a small star with a cutter from the centre of each biscuit. Place on remaining tray. Bake for 15 minutes or until firm to the touch and cooked through. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool
4. Place the whole biscuits onto a flat surface. Spoon 2 teaspoons of Christmas Jam (or any other favourite Quincey Jones Jam onto each biscuit, spreading almost to the edge of biscuit. Dust icing sugar over remaining biscuits with star cut out. Place star biscuits over jam biscuits. Serve for all those drop in guests that appear over the Christmas holiday break and watch their glowing reactions! Make sure to tell your friends about our wonderful jams and unique flavours like our Christmas Jam!
Now for those who prefer Christmas Jam drops to shortbread biscuits you can adapt our Jam Drop recipe here to include a star shape and use our Christmas Jam as the centrepiece! Just a little idea for your creative cooking this season!
