Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup maida
  • 1/2 cup cold butter
  • 1cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold butter
  • 1tbsp vanilla
  • Few drops of milk
  • 3/4 frozen raspberries
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  • To make the biscuit dough, combine cold butter and flour in a bowl. Using your fingers, break down butter cubes into the flour and keep doing it till you reach a sandy consistency.
  • Add in condensed milk in batches and bring the dough together. Once combined, cover the bowl and chill it in the refrigerator.
  • For the cream filling, combine cold butter and icing sugar in a bowl. Mix the two till you reach a sandy consistency. Add in vanilla and milk to bring everything together. Set aside.
  • To make the raspberry jam, in a saucepan over medium heat add in frozen raspberries, sugar, and water. Cook this down till you reach a thick consistency. You can also add in cornflour to make the jam thick and let it cook for another minute or so. Set it aside.
  • Once the biscuit dough has chilled, start preheating your oven at 180 degree Celsius
  • Take out the biscuit dough and using a rolling pin, roll it to about half an inch thick, in between two parchment sheets.
  • Once rolled out, using a cookie cutter, cut out individual biscuits and keep the excess dough aside.
  • Now using the back of a piping tip, cut out a small center from half of the biscuits. These will be the top biscuits of our jim jams and will allow space for the jam filling.
  • You can re roll the excess dough and repeat this process till all you dough has been used.
  • Bake these for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
  • Let them cool down completely.
  • For assembling, take one biscuit that will be the base of the jim jams. Using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula, smear the cream filling all over the base.
  • Transfer the jam filling in a piping bag and pipe a generous dollop in the center of the base biscuit.
  • Then, simply cover it with the top biscuit shell, the one with the center cut out. Keep repeating these steps till all your biscuits are ready.
