A nostalgic teatime cookie that always reminds me of my Grandma and Grandpa is Jammy buns. This is an incredibly easy recipe that creates a delicious spring time cookie that everyone seems to enjoy! The base is a mix between a short bread and soft oatmeal cookie; you could totally add quick oats as a substitute for bran if you'd like and the recipe would turn out just fine. I made these for the first time today and they turned out wonderfully!
Jammy Buns
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup bran (or 1 cup of whole wheat flour- I use bran because its cheaper)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cups unsalted butter
- 3/4 cups fine white sugar
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1 large egg
- 4-5 tablespoons milk
- 5-6 tablespoons raspberry jam
Preparation:
1. Mix dry ingredients together (bran, flour, salt, baking powder)
2. Cube the butter and rub into flour until it resembles breadcrumbs (use the hand mixture if you find the butter is not incorporating into the dry mixture fine enough)
3. Mix in sugar and cranberries
4. In a separate bowl whisk the egg, milk and vanilla and add to the dry ingredients
** continue adding milk if you find the dough isn’t coming together enough
5. Make small dough balls (about 1 tablespoon), place on a cookie sheet and make a small indent with a teaspoon for the jam filling
6. Fill the indent with jam
7. Bake for 7-8 minutes at 350 degrees
