Biscuits and 'Jammy Dodgers'


These are really easy to make and really lovely to eat too!
Ingredients
275g Plain Flour
100g Soft light brown sugar
175g Margarine (dairy and soya free)
Preparation
1) Heat oven to 180 degrees
2) Stir together the flour and sugar.  Rub in margarine (using your hands) and knead together to form a dough.
3) Place on a floured surface and roll to about 5mm thick.
4) Using your chosen cutter shapes, cut biscuits and place on a greased baking tray.
5) Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and leave to cool on a wire rack.
These are quite plain and can be eaten this way, however they can also be decorated with raisins, cherries, silver balls etc before cooking, or icing and other decorations, after cooking, to add some variety.

Alternatively if you cut small holes in half of the biscuits before cooking they can be sandwiched together with Jam to make Jammy dodger style biscuits!

Another alternative here is to replace a little of the flour (approx 25g) with the same amount of cocoa powder - for a chocolate version.
