Fig jam biscuits
Ingredients:
- 250g of flour
- 125g cold butter, cut into cubes
- 50g of sugar
- 1 jar of fig jam (Dottato di Cosenza variety)
Method:
Preparation of the dough:
In a large bowl, mix the flour with the sugar and a pinch of salt.
Add the cold cubed butter and work with your fingertips until you obtain a sandy mixture.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. If necessary, add a little cold water.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Biscuit formation:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 0.5cm thick.
Using a cookie cutter, cut circles out of the dough.
On half of the circles, place a teaspoon of fig jam in the center.
Cooking:
Cover the jam circles with another circle of dough, pressing the edges lightly to seal.
Place the biscuits on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly browned at the edges.
Cooling and Service:
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
If desired, dust with icing sugar before serving.
Suggestions:
- You can vary the size of the biscuits as you like, but keep in mind that these proportions should make around 20-24 medium-sized biscuits.
- If you prefer a softer texture, you can reduce the cooking time by a few minutes.
