Le Tart ....

if you want to be posh..Jammy Dodgers if you've been missing home as much as we have this week.

It's a simple recipe, easy on the pocket masha'allah and it's even moderately child friendly if you feel that way inclined.

As you can probably tell from the pictures, we were feeling a bit to precious to have the littlies join in with this one, but do try it with them sometime they'll love jamming and sandwiching bits of biscuit together.

 In a large bowl, place 250g of butter

 add to that 250g of icing sugar

and work wonders with your spoon till it looks something like

this...

next in are two eggs, 

beat them into the butter and sugar

 

 you'll end up with lushness like this insha'allah..

then 2tsp of baking powder.

 

 then incorporate as much flour as is needed to create a soft unsticky dough

roll your dough out to a nice even thickness 

about 1cm or so and then cut out your shapes.

What you're aiming for are an even number of tops & bottoms...

as you can see we went the high tech method of cutting holes,

and went for a bottle top.

lightly grease and flour a baking tin and bake your biscuits in a moderate oven till they're cooked through

but not coloured....

once they're out and cooled , dust the tops and jam the bottoms 

and once they're stuck together finish them off by adding a little extra jam in to the centre.

The origional recipe came from my bestest friend

who has given me the push I needed to try lots of Algerian recipes 

 Why don't you give them a try insha'allah...
