  Put the butter, sugar, flour and almonds right into a meals processor and whizz till the combination simply comes collectively and kinds a ball. If making by hand, first beat collectively the butter and sugar, then add the flour and floor almonds. Wrap in cling movie and go away within the fridge for no less than 1 hr.

  Take away the dough from the fridge and knead till it’s delicate sufficient to form and roll. Divide into two even-size balls. Sprinkle a little bit plain flour over your work floor and roll out one ball of pastry. I discover it greatest to start out the rolling myself in order that it’s even, then let the youngsters end it off. The dough must be roughly 5mm thick. Utilizing a star cutter (about 6cm large) dipped in a little bit flour to cease it from sticking, lower out as many star shapes as you possibly can. Then evenly knead the dough trimmings collectively and roll out once more. Maintain going till you have got about 24 stars.

Place a blob of jam onto the centre of the biscuits with out the cut-out circle. Be beneficiant – you need the jam to point out on the edges in addition to the centre. Place the highest halves of the biscuits on and push down gently. These will preserve in an hermetic container for as much as 3 days.
