Jam Drops

Back - sorry about that - still have a little man that is VERY unsettled with reflux pains - poor little thing! Hopefully things will begin to calm down soon as he will start a new medication today (yay says the sleepless Mum!) Made these the other day after telling Amelia that we would cook and then finding that I did not have any eggs in the fridge - oops. They are delish though and I will definitely make these again (I grew up on Jam Drops and still love the ones that my Mum makes)

So the recipe for those that have been so patient (from Family Circles: The Complete Cookies, Muffins & Cakes Cookbook)

Ingredients:
80g softened butter
1 cup self raising flour
1/3 cup caster sugar
1/3 cup custard powder
2 tablespoons milk jam
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

1. Preheat oven to 180c and line two baking trays
2. Cream the butter and sugar with electric beaters until light and fluffy. Add milk and essence and beat until well combined. Add sifted flour and custard powder and mix to form a soft dough.
3. Roll mixture into balls and press slightly onto baking tray. Make a small indentation in each biscuit and fill with jam.
4. Bake for 15 minutes, allow to cool slightly on trays and then transfer to a wire rack.
