Ingredients

  • 250 butter unsalted softened
  • 140 brown sugar 
  • tsp vanilla extract 
  • 300 flour plain
  • jar raspberry jam seedless
  • tbsp custard powder 
  • 85 powdered sugar 

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • wooden spoon

Directions

  1. Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla for a few secs, then use a wooden spoon to stir in the flour with tsp salt.
  2. Roll the dough into 36 small balls (the easiest way to get this right is to divide the dough into quarters each quarter then makes 9 balls).
  3. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas
  4. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Squish 2 balls of dough together on the paper, keeping the round edges of the balls at the top, but pinching together at the base where they meet, so they make a rough heart shape. Flatten with the palm of your hand to a biscuit, then press in heart-shaped dent for the jam thumbs and fingers are perfect for this. Repeat with remaining dough balls leaving a little space between each finished heart shape for spreading.
  5. Spoon the jam into a food bag (or disposable piping bag), snip off the end and pipe roughly 2-3 tsp jam into the thumb-heart dips you have made in each biscuit.
  6. Bake for 8-12 mins until pale golden and crisp. Cool on the trays.
  7. Mix the custard powder and icing sugar, then dribble in enough water to make a runny icing.
  8. Drizzle all over the cooled biscuits, allow to set for at least 10 mins, then serve or store in a biscuit tin.
