Cooking web notes

            Yay-yay-yay! I baked these biscuits for the first time and it came out very nice!  My kiddo loves Jam biscuits a lot, I tried this especially for him and after tasting one he said ‘I love this’ !!.Now I can bake cookies confidently as this attempt turned out to be a success!

          I saw this recipe at Divine taste blog ,when I was googling images for eggless cookies and got tempted and the recipe sounded pretty simple and I just went ahead and tried it,I dint changed anything,just blindly followed the recipe,as this is my first time,I dint want to take any risks. But I used ready made jam,while she has used her own home made jam.

INGREDIENTS

Maida/All purpose flour	3/4 cup
Vanilla custard powder	3/4 cup
Corn flour	4 tblsp
Butter	1/2 cup
Powdered sugar	1/2 cup
Curd	3 tblsps
Vanilla essence	1/2 tsp
Jam(any kind) I used mango	2 tblsps

 

Method:

1. Soften butter and beat it until frothy along with powdered sugar and the essence.
2. Add the flours and curd.
3. and make it into a smooth dough.
4. Spread the dough in a flat surface using a rolling pin for about 5 mm thickness. You can see the image for reference,the biscuit wont rise much, so you can roll to the same thickness you want.
5. Use cookie cutter of any shape and cut out the shapes. use the remaining dough and repeat the process.
6. Arrange these biscuits in a baking tray lined properly(I used aluminium foil).
7. I used the essence bottle’s lid for making a dent at the centre to fill the jam.Just a very very shallow dent.You can use your thumb too.
8. I just melted(made it loose) the jam in a small pan.(take care not to heat it too much,just when it starts to get warm,remove from fire)
9. Just fill a drop to cover the dent we have made in the biscuits..
10. Pre- heat oven at 180^degrees C and bake the biscuits  for 12 – 15 minutes(mine took 15 minutes) or until done.
11. After cool down store in airtight containers and enjoy the home made Jam biscuits!
