Lepelsteeltjies recipe
Another baked treat with authentic South African flavours - Lepelsteeltjies recipe, otherwise known as Cheesy Jam-Hole Biscuits. A lovely combination of savoury and sweet.

Ingredients

1 cup (250 ml) flour
1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
120 gram / 1 1/4 cup (310 ml) cheddar cheese, finely grated
120 gram butter (at room temperature)
2 tablespoons (30 ml) smooth apricot jam

Directions

Grease patty pans or miniature mini-muffin trays. Spray 'n Cook works really well.

Sift flour, salt and baking powder together.

Add grated cheese and butter, and combine into a dough.

Roll walnut sized balls of dough and place them in the patty pans tray.

Use the handle of a wooden spoon to press small hollows into each ball, taking care not to poke the holes through to the bottom.

Spoon a small quantity of jam into each hollow. If you use too much jam, it will bubble over the edges when baking.

Bake for approximately 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 200C.

Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.

You can top up the hollows with additional apricot jam before serving.

Servings

Makes 30-36 small biscuits
