Method

  1. Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla. Add the flour and mix in well - using your hands is best. Knead gently on a lightly floured surface, then divide into 2 pieces and form each into a roll. Wrap in cling filmand chill for 20-30 mins.
  2. Set the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece of dough to just a bit less than 5mm (¼in) thick, one at a time, and cut out large rounds. Cut out smaller rounds (using the cutter or end of the icing nozzle) from half of them. Knead the centres and all trimmings together and re-roll to make more biscuits - about 60 in total. Use the small cutter or nozzle to make markings on the rounds with the holes in, to decorate them, if you like.
  3. Put on the baking sheets in batches and bake for 10-12 mins until pale golden.Take off the tray and cool on a wire rack.
  4. Sandwich the biscuits together with the jam. They’ll keep for up to a week in an airtight tin.
