I made the girlfriends some biscuit surprise the other week...did I post about that already? I can't remember, cause the ladeez r a craftin' postin' whirlwind - and I LOVE it!
Now, I am giving over my very own recipe for the biscuits and one day the ladeez might even send some to you...but not till you get home from overseas cause I don't think they'll last the journey to reach you over there.
Bee's Honeyed Jam Drops
125g butter
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 cup caster or raw sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/4 cups self raising flour
Jam of your choice (although I don't recommend using my chilli jam)
Preheat the oven to 150 deg cel
Beat butter, essence, sugar and honey with an electric mixer (or a wooden spoon and very strong biceps) until light and fluffy. Now stir in the sifted flour (sift it lazy bones, no skipping steps).
Roll about 2 teaspoons of the dough into a ball and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Repeat till you use up all your mixture and have a tray full of biscuit dough balls.
Now get a wooden spoon with a round handle and use the end of the handle to press down into each biscuit and make a dent/hole (not all the way through though). Spoon some jam into a bowl and mix it up so it's smooth and easier to use. Now, half (or less) fill each hole with some jam.
Whack those puppies in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Cool them on a rack.
You can leave out the jam if you want and instead press a fork onto the biscuits to flatten them a bit - and you get lines on them when they're baked too.
Love Bee

Wow! Great instructions, you make it sound so simple...but they are so YUMMY!
They are simple - go make some! You an get Mr brownpants to dop the mixing if you don't have an electric mixer. I used to use my $20 hand held electric mixer before the big spesh mixer.
Yuuuuuummmmmmyyyyy!
They look great Bee. I was having a bit of a poke around here expecting to get tempted by scraves and kimonos, not yummy biccies.
You know jam drops are the *first ever* thing I learnt to cook- Brownpants they are very easy :-)
And double-plus good as a sweet thing for me since I can't have chocolate at all! Woe is me.
