Ingredients
7 total- 2 eggs, at room temperature, beaten
- 100 g of self raising flour, sifted
- 100 g of butter, at room temperature
- 100 g of caster sugar
- 1 dusting of icing sugar
- 1 tsp of vanilla essence
- 3 tbsp of jam
Method
4 stepsStep 1
In a mixing bowl beat the butter and sugar until light, creamy and fluffy.
Step 2
Now add the eggs a little at a time, beating well between each addition, to ensure the mixture doesn’t curdle. If the mixture does curdle add a little of the flour and beat well before continuing with the egg and finally the vanilla essence.
Step 3
Gently fold in the flour and then divide the mixture between the tins and level the tops before baking in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden, risen and springy to the touch. Test with a skewer; if it's ready it will come out clean.
Step 4
Leave to stand in their tins for a couple of minutes before turning out and cooling fully on a wire rack. To serve, fill with jam and sandwich together, then dust the top with icing sugar. Store in an airtight tin.
