Ingredients
- Plum jam
-
1.5
kg plums (stoned and left in one piece or cut in half)
-
0.5
kg sugar
-
0.5 teaspoons
salt
- Classic butter tea biscuit
-
2 cups
flour
-
2 teaspoons
baking powder
-
1/2 cup
cold butter
-
2 tablespoons
sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt
-
3/4 cup
cold milk plus some for brushing
Directions
- Plum jam
-
In a bowl add sugar and salt to the plums and place in the fridge overnight.
-
Next day, preheat the oven to 150 C (300 F) and put the plums into a roasting pan and place in the middle of the oven.
-
Roast the plums for 1 hour before you mix.
-
Place back in to the oven and keep roasting for additional 30-40 minutes. Plums will have a nice chunky texture (the way I liked).
-
Still hot, scope jam in warm glass jars (2 jars 2 cups each), place a lid on and flip the jar upside down.
- Classic butter tea biscuit
-
Mix all dry ingredients together and cut butter until crumbly.
-
Add milk to dry ingredients and mix by hand until formation of soft dough.
Rest the dough for a few minutes.
-
Place the dough on the table and spread with hands until desire thickness, 1 inch approximately.
Cut into serving size, brush some milk over top.
-
Bake 400F for 15-16 minutes or until golden brown.
