Title: Jam Drop Biscuits with Quince Paste centers.
Post by: achookwoman on May 03, 2010, 12:45:26 pm
Instead of jam,  I used Quince Paste in the center of each biscuit.  It was less messy and held its shape.

125 softened butter
3/4 cup of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 eggs
1  1/4 cups of plain flour
1/4 cup of cornflour
1/2 cup of desiccated coconut
Jam or fruit paste for filling.

Preheat oven to 180c. and prepare baking trays with baking paper.
Place butter, sugar,  eggs,  and vanilla in TMX bowl and mix for 30 seconds at speed 6.
Add flours and coconut and mix, 30 seconds at speed 6.  Scrape down bowl and mix for further 10 seconds,  speed 6.

Roll into small balls, ( I use a small ice cream scoop ),  and place on trays.
Press a dent on the center and place a small cube of paste or a small teaspoon full of jam in the center.
Bake 15 mins. and cool on trays.

Makes 30 - 35

That's a great idea Chookie!

I was just looking at the 4 Ingredients Jam Drop recipe. There's is very, very basic, just 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup sugar and 2 cups plain flour. Yours sounds much better.

MJ,  these are very nice and very easy.   I forgot that I used to make these when the kiddies were small.  I took some to the DD at the weekend,  and she reminded me that I used to make them.  I think you could also roll the balls in coconut, (without the jam)

Good one Chookie - great idea.  Maybe use some of your plum paste too.
