Jam Snow Drops

Makes 36

• 280g plain flour
• 80g almond meal
• 1 tsp vanilla paste
• 200g unsalted butter
• 60g pure icing sugar, sifted
• Raspberry or mixed berry jam 
• Additional sifted icing sugar to roll
  
  

Whip the butter, vanilla and icing sugar together. Fold in the flour and almond meal. With a dessert spoon take a spoon of dough and roll it into a ball. With your thumb press an indentation in the centre and while carefully turning create a hole in the centre, place a teaspoon of mix in the centre and close over the hole with dough, adding a small amount more dough if needed to seal the jam inside. Roll into balls and place on a baking tray leaving space in between. Bake at 160C for about 12 minutes. Allow to cool for  a few minutes then roll in sifted icing sugar and allow to cool completely before storing.
