- 3/4 cup custard powder ~100 grams
- 1/4 cup thick curd ~60 ml - adjust according to the dough consistency
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar ~80 grams
- 1 tablespoon corn flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- mixed fruit jam as required
Instructions
- Mix maida, corn flour and custard powder, keep aside.
- Soft butter, add sugar to it and cream well.
- Then add curd, vanilla essence and beat well until creamy.
- Then add custard powder mixture to the butter sugar mixture and make it to soft dough. If your dough is sticky add little maida to make it a soft pliable dough.
- Roll the dough on a flat surface using chapathi roller for about 5mm thickness.
- Then cut out shapes using cookie cutter. Collect the remaining dough and repeat the process.
- Preheat oven to 180 deg C for 10mins.
- Meanwhile make a small dent in the middle of all the biscuits using a small round lid and apply a very thin layer of jam in it.
- Arrange it in a baking tray with aluminum foil lined.
- Bake it for 12-15mins at 180 deg C.
- Allow it to cool and store Jam Biscuits in airtight container. Enjoy Jam Biscuits!
Notes
- As I reduced the butter and replaced it with curd, the biscuits slightly puffed up, oozing out jam. So in the next batch I applied a very thin layer of jam. So don't add more jam it will surely ooze out.
- Though the butter is reduced, the crispness is perfect. The only difference I found with reducing butter was that the biscuits started to soften after 3 days.
- I used mixed fruit jam, you can use your favorite flavour of jam. But mixed fruit went well with the custard powder flavour.
