Honey Marmalade Drops
These are a biscuit that I grew up making, they're so simple and really easy to eat. I can run off a batch in half an hour. Normally they are made with strawberry or sometimes apricot jam, but today I made them with marmalade because I adore it. You could just as easily use any other jam/jelly/conserve.
Jam Drops
125g butter
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tsps honey
1 egg
1/2 cup plain flour
1 cup SR flour
Pinch salt
Jam
Preheat oven to 180C and grease 2 or 3 trays.
Cream your butter and sugar until fluffy, add the egg and honey, mix well. Sift flours and salt and add to the mix. I used an electric mixer for this step because otherwise it doesn't really bind. If it is still too dry, add a teaspoon of water and knead it with your hands until it all comes together in a ball.
Roll teaspoons of the mixture into balls and place onto trays, make a dent in the middle of the cookies with a finger and add 1/4 teaspoon of jam in each.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
Makes about 2-3 dozen depending on how much dough you eat beforehand and how big you make the cookies.
