Shrewsbury Biscuits

Ingredients

323g buttermilk

120g starter

250g butter

320g icing sugar

850g flour

1 jar jam of choice

Method

Preheat your oven to 175deg

Mix all ingredients in a bowl until combined, the dough should be soft but come together well, if too sticky add more flour

Flour your bench top and roll out until 3-4mm thick, then using a cookie cutter cut into an even number, you will need to re-roll the dough a few times

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 175deg- they will be pale but cooked through

While the biscuits are warm, cut out a little hole in the centre of half of the biscuits (this is the top biscuit) & let cool

Heat your jam in a saucepan until it starts to simmer (choice: strain the seeds from the jam with a sieve)

As the jam starts to cool, spread over the bottom biscuit without the hole & then place biscuit with hole on top!
