Myra's Jam Filled Biscuits image

We used to spend many of our holiday's on a high country sheep station in NZ, and Myra McKinnon, the farmer's wife used to make these cookies (as a kid I would sometimes help her too) She, sadly is no longer with us. but I thought her recipe deserved sharing.

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 20-26 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 lb butter
1/2 lb sugar (1 cup)
2 eggs
1 lb flour (4 cups)
1 teaspoon baking powder
300 g jam

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar.
  • Add eggs, then flour and baking powder.
  • Roll into small balls, put onto a baking tray and pat out flat.
  • Make a hole in one of a pair (I use the lid of an essence bottle) Bake at 350 F (180 C) for 12-15 minutes or until*just* starting to turn from creamy colour to very light brown.
  • Store in an air-tight container and spread with raspberry jam just before serving so that you have a"bottom" section of the cookie without a hole, and the"top" with a hole in it so that the jam shows through These dissapear so fast that I never take note of how many I get in a batch: it also makes a difference how large or small you make the balls, therefore the yield is a"guess-timate".

I've made these biscuits several times now and they are always a hit! They are so easy to make and taste delicious. I love that I can use any type of jam I want. My favorite is strawberry jam.

These biscuits were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the jam was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These biscuits were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They were easy to make and turned out great. I would probably use less jam next time.

Myra's Jam-Filled Biscuits were a hit with my family! The combination of sweet jam and flaky biscuit was perfect. I especially loved how easy they were to make. I'll definitely be making these again soon.
