Jammy buns

Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 160°C fan/gas 4 and line 1–2 baking trays with baking paper.

Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, then drop in the butter. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs (like a crumble topping). Stir in the sugar.

Use a fork to mix the egg and milk together, then add to the crumb mixture using a butter knife. Next, make a rough, sticky dough with your hands.

Dust a clean surface with a little extra flour and tip on the dough. Gently press together to form a smoother round. Halve the dough, then halve these pieces again so you have 4 chunks. Break each chunk into 3 pieces to give you 12 altogether. Roll each piece gently between your hands to form a ball, then squash to flatten a little.

Arrange the biscuits on the prepared trays, leaving space between them. Press your thumb firmly in the centre of each biscuit to create a dent, then add a tsp of jam into each dent. Bake in the oven for 12–14 mins or until the buns are lightly golden then allow to cool for a few minutes before eating. If using an air fryer, line the basket with baking paper, then bake the buns in batches 160°C for 7–10 mins.
