J for Jam Biscuits! When I showed my husband that I had chosen to bake these biscuits so they can form part of this A-Z series of BM #32, he was skeptical if it could beat his expectations. Though he did not say anything openly, I sensed his hesitation.
After I baked these, he couldn't have enough of them. He said they tasted just like the bakery ones he used to eat in his childhood. I couldn't agree with him more!! And the kids fought with the Dad to finish them off. They all liked Strawberry jam better.

Ingredients -
Maida / All Purpose Flour 3/4 cup
Custard Powder (I used Vanilla flavor) 3/4 cup
Corn starch / Fine Corn Flour (White) 4 Tbsp
Butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup
Sugar, Powdered 1/2 cup
Curds/Yogurt 3-4 Tbsp
Jam of your choice (I used Strawberry and Grape) as needed
Vanilla essence 1 tsp (I didn't use as the custard powder had vanilla flavor)
Method Of Preparation -
Whisk the butter and powdered sugar until it becomes frothy. (Add vanilla essence as well if using).
Add the flours and curd and knead into a smooth and soft dough.
Divide the dough into manageable portions and roll them out flat approximately 5 mm thick.
Cut out desired shapes (using a cookie cutter) and continue rolling the dough and cutting out the shapes until the dough is used up.
Arrange these cut out shapes on a foil or parchment lined cookie tray.
Use a small bottle cap or your thumb to make a small depression on the surface of the cookies. Put in a little jam of your preference to fill the depression.
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Bake for 12-15 min or until the undersides are lightly browned.
Cool them and store in air tight containers.
