These biscuits are a real favourite of mine. In Swedish they’re called Hallongrottor which translates to ‘raspberry caves’ and they remind me a bit of jammy dodgers although they’re much nicer than the shop bought ones. They also freeze really well so I like to whip up a big batch and keep for impromptu coffee mornings.
Ingredients:
200g butter at room temperature
100ml caster sugar
1tbsp vanilla essence
450ml plain flour
1tsp baking powder
150ml raspberry jam
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees
2. Stir together the butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth and light. Mix the flour with the baking powder in a separate bowl before working in to the dough.
3. Divide the dough into 20 pieces of equal size and roll into round balls. Place in muffin cases and, using your finger, make a small indentation in the middle.
4. Fill the indentations with raspberry jam and bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes.
They look so good! May just have to give them a try! 😊

Yes do, they really are yummy.
Ooh thanks for letting me know, will head over now and check it out. X
I would love one or two or more of these with my coffee!
They are the perfect treat to go with a morning/afternoon cup of coffee!
A good idea to bake and freeze for when you need them. Home-made always so much nicer than shop-bought! x
I know, isn’t it? The dough for these is really good though so I usually have to make two batches as I end up eating so much of the dough 🙂
Haha! I’m sure I would do the same…!
oh, they sound so good! Must try!
Yes do, they’re really yummy and easy to make – the best combination in my book! X
Adorable! Have to try them out! ❤
