Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) seedless raspberry jam (plus extra for leakage effect)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk.
- Add flour and salt, mixing just until combined. Chill dough 15 minutes.
- Pinch off ~1‑tablespoon-sized pieces, roll into balls, then flatten into rounds (~2” diameter) on one baking sheet. Repeat on second sheet.
- Bake 10–12 minutes until pale gold. Cool 5 minutes on sheets before transferring to wire racks.
- Once cool, spread 1 tsp jam onto one biscuit,顶 with second to form sandwich. Press gently—let jam ooze for authentic look.
- Dust top lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For extra sci-fi flair, pipe a tiny dot of jam in center after assembly to mimic the TARDIS beacon.
- Store in airtight container up to 3 days—though they rarely last that long!
- Vegan option: substitute butter with vegan margarine, egg yolk with 1 tbsp flaxseed + 2 tbsp water, and use plant-based jam.
