Myra'S Jam Filled Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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\".
