Seasonal plum Jammy Dodgers for Biscuit Week!
Seasonal plum Jammy Dodgers for Biscuit Week!
I’ve been baking with Pyrex® since I can remember, and when I moved to the UK on my own, my mom bought me my first Pyrex® measuring cup to take with me. Now to partner with @pyrexukofficial to celebrate The Great British Bake Off is a dream come true! I’ve made some delicious plum filled Jammy Dodgers using my Pyrex® Bake & Enjoy Glass Baking Dish (available at Ocado)!
Ingredients for jam:
1kg plums
100ml water
500g white granulated sugar
1tbsp lemon juice
De-pit the plums. Pop the pitted plums in your blender to chop. Pour finely chopped plums into a saucepan and add water. On medium to low heat, simmer for about 15 minutes then add in lemon juice and sugar. Boil for 20-25 minutes, stirring to avoid burning. Skim any foam on the top. Jam should deepen in colour and thicken. When ready, pour into a glass bowl and cool in the fridge.
Ingredients for biscuits (makes 8):
115g icing sugar
270g plain flour
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg yolk
200g butter, cold and cubed
Mix the sugar, flour and butter, rubbing between your hands until crumbly. Add in egg yolk and vanilla. Mix with your hands to form a dough ball. Cover in clingfilm and press into a 3cm flat disc. Put in the fridge for 30-45 minutes. Preheat your oven to 160.C fan. Once chilled, take out and roll flat until about 0.5cm thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut out 16 biscuits. Cut out the centre of 8 of them using a small cutter. Place the biscuits on the Pyrex® Glass Baking Dish, (6 should fit on the dish at a time). Put in the oven for about 14 minutes. Remove and leave to sit for a few minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Add 1-2 tsp of jam to the centre of the non-holed biscuits and press holed biscuit on top. I like to have mine with a cup of tea!
