The Quince Jam Drop Bikkie recipe to celebrate all things Quince and sharing my new free ebook.

Quince Jam Drop Bikkies

Makes 15.

Ingredients:

180g butter

3/4 cup rapadura sugar

2 cups wholemeal spelt flour

1/2 teaspoon Aluminium free Baking Powder

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

1 chia egg . In a small cup mix 1 tablespoon organic chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water.

Each Jam Drop needs 1/4  to  1/2 teaspoon of Quince Jam.

Method:

Mix the chia egg and set aside, it is the last ingredient to go into the food processor. By leaving it sit for as long as possible it gives it a chance to turn gelatinous and work its magic of being a great substitute for egg.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Into the food processor add all ingredients then the chia egg.

Process until the mixture forms into a large ball. You should be able to pinch the mix in-between your thumb and index finger and it not crumble but stick together.

Roll out walnut size balls, place on the baking tray.

With the smooth edge of a utensil make a small round imprint in each biscuit.  I use a small wooden knife with a rounded handle.

Fill each  imprint with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Quince Jam.

Bake at 180 degrees celsius until golden and smelling delicious.  Let cool a little before tucking in, the jam will be hot.

 

*If you don’t have a food processor you could use a hand held beater or alternatively if you are using a mixing bowl and knife like I did when Michael and I were first together simply:

Cream the butter and sugar until smooth, add the spelt flour, sprinkle in the baking powder, then add the vanilla extract & chia egg. Work quickly to combine ingredients.  You may need to use your hands to combine the mix and knead it a little but try not to be heavy handed!

Roll into walnut size balls and fill with jam as per the above instructions.
