- 2
Beat the butter and sugar together for 3 minutes until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- 3
Stir in the flour and milk to make a soft dough.
- 4
Roll into 20 balls and set them well apart on the trays. Press a deep dent into the middle of each with the handle of a wooden spoon.
- 5
Spoon a level teaspoon of jam into each dent. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are golden.

Cool on the trays for 5 minutes, then move to a rack. The jam stays very hot for a while, so wait before eating.
