I have decided to dedicate this week of my blogging life to cake, and baked goods. I've loved baking ever since I was little, when my dad let me wreck the kitchen for a weekend of (probably failed) experiments! A while ago my housemate and I made some cherry bakewells, they didn't have any marzipan but still tasted really good!
Ingredients:| For the pastry: |
| 200g plain flour |
| 100g butter |
| 8 tablespoons water |
| For the filling: |
| 50g self-raising flour |
| 50g caster sugar |
| 50g butter |
| 1 egg |
| Cherry Jam |
| For the topping: Glace cherrys icing sugar |
Method:
Blend the butter and flour together with your finger tips until it is like a breadcrumb texture, then add the water and mix until you have a firm dough. Kneed the dough for about a minute then roll out quick thick and cut 12 circles out with a cookie cutter. Place them in a buttered cake tin and fill with a teaspoon of cherry jam. Make up the sponge mix by putting all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing until combined. Spoon tsps of mixture on top of the jam and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top.
Once cooled decorate with thick icing and half a cherry on top and enjoy!
