These are a family favourite and only take 10 minutes to make. Lovely with morning coffee, or for afternoon tea.
200g caster sugar
115g butter
115g ground almonds
115g plain flour
1tspn baking power.
1 egg
3 drops almond essence.
Mix the ingredients together.
Rest dough in the fridge for one hour if you want biscuits to retain their round shape. I was in too much of a hurry, so mine turned out flat.
Take teaspoons full of dough and roll in the palm of your hand. Place on a baking tray. Make a well in the centre with a spoon handle or little finger. Fill with strawberry jam. Top with slivers of almond.
