Cuisine: Kids
Serves: 10-12
Ingredients
- 175g plain flour
- Pinch of salt
- 75g icing sugar
- 125g unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 egg yolk
- ½tsp vanilla extract
- 10-12tsp raspberry jam (or other red fruit)
Instructions
- Sift four, salt and icing sugar into large mixing bowl. Lightly rub butter into mixture, until resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Whisk egg yolk and vanilla extract in small bowl. Combine with flour mixture to form soft, smooth dough. Form dough into ball, wrap in clingfilm and chill for at least 30mins. Preheat oven to 170C.
- Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Place each portion between 2 sheets of lightly floured baking parchment and roll out until approx 4mm thick.
- Using 6cm fluted pastry cutter, cut each sheet of dough into equal number of discs. Then cut shapes out of centre of half the discs, using smaller, Christmas-themed cutter. Re-roll any trimmings and cut more discs, ensuring each has pair with Christmas cut-out.
- Transfer discs to baking sheets lined with baking parchment, and bake for 15-20mins until just firm and barely coloured. Remove from oven and gently spread level tsp jam in centre of fill discs, then put their cut-out pairs on top. Return to oven and cook for further 5-6mins, until lightly golden and well stuck together with jam. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely before serving.
