Marmalade biscuits

Ingredients

(makes ten biscuits)

100g cold butter, cubed

200g Eden Yard plain flour

100g caster sugar

1 small egg, lightly beaten

3 tbsp Dalemain Jane’s (thick cut) marmalade

Method

Rub the butter and sugar into the flour until it looks like rough breadcrumbs. Slowly add the egg to bring the dough together. Wrap it in baking parchment and place it in the fridge for two hours or overnight.

Preheat your oven to 180°C and line two large flat baking trays with parchment.

Roll the dough to about 5mm thick and cut out 20 circles. Place 10 of them onto one of the baking trays. Cut stars out of the centre of the other ten and place them on the other tray.

Bake for about 10 minutes until golden. Once cool enough to handle, place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Spoon some marmalade onto the full circles and place the other biscuits on top.
