Eggless jam biscuits

This eggless jam biscuits was simply superb. Very easy recipe and definitely a winning dish. The custard powder in it gives a fantastic taste to this biscuit.

Ingredients:

• All purpose flour/ maida- 3/4 cup
• Vanilla Custard powder-3/4 cup
• Butter -1/2 cup
• Powdered sugar -1/2 cup
• Vanilla essence-1 tsp
• Curd -3 tbsp
• Corn flour-4 tbsp
• Jam -As needed ( any kind)

Method:

• Bring the butter to room temperature and beat it well with sugar using a Whisk or blender.
• When it becomes soft and fluffy add all the remaining ingredients except jam and knead it to a soft dough.
• Now roll it using a rolling pin to thickness you prefer.Dust flour while rolling. DO NOT ROLL TOO THIN OR TOO THICK.
• Now using a cookie cuter make the biscuits and arrange it in a silver foiled baking plate/ tray
• Make a dent in the centre.(I used my essence bottle cap).
• Heat the jam in a pan. Do not over heat. Just the consistency to fill the dent is enough.
• Fill the dent with jam.
• Pre heat the oven to 180degree and bake it for 15 to 20 mins. (These biscuits do not spread so you can place them closer in the baking tray.)
• Mine took 20 mins.
• Store in a air tight container after it cools down.

Notes:

• I used instant custard powder and raspberry jam.
• No of cookies depends on the size of cookies.
• You can also make plain biscuits without jam.
• Biscuits will initially be soft when taken out of the oven and becomes crisp once it cools down completely.
