Ingredients

  • 200 g butter softened
  • 125 g caster sugar
  • 1 medium egg beaten
  • 325 g gluten free plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • raspberry or strawberry jam

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 160C and prepare 1-2 baking trays with non stick baking paper.
  • In a large bowl cream your butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add in your beaten egg and mix to combine.
  • Add in your flour and xanthan gum and mix until it comes together and starts to form a dough. (if for some reason its sticky just add a little more flour)
  • Flour some non stick baking paper as well as your rolling pin and roll out your dough to just over half a cm thick.
  • Use either a round or fluted round cutter to cut out shapes - my cutter was 7.5cm in diameter but you can use whatever size cutters you like. On half of them, use a small heart cutter to cut a shape out (if you don't have one you could cut a small circle out instead).
  • They can be a little delicate so use a palette knife to lift your dough onto your prepared baking sheets. Re-roll the rest of the dough so you can cut out more shapes.
  • Bake for about 12-15 minutes until slightly golden at the edges - bear in mind that smaller biscuit shapes will bake quicker. Allow the biscuits to cool briefly on the trays and then transfer to finish cooling on a cooling wrack.
  • Once cooled spread a little jam on the biscuits without a heart cut out. Ensure the jam is mainly in the centre so it pokes through the hole when you sandwich them together!
  • Sandwich the biscuits together and enjoy!

Notes

  • Sometimes I like to spread a layer of buttercream on first, then spreading the jam on top of that to make jam sandwich biscuits.
  • These are a fairly soft buttery biscuit but you could use my Christmas biscuit recipe if you prefer something a little less buttery and with more of a snap!
