Jammy Shortbread Slices
A layer of sweet strawberry jam sandwiched between two layers of shortbread in this easy jammy shortbread slice
We've been in the new house almost a week now so I thought it was about time I christened the oven and filled the cake tins again.
These jam shortbread slices couldn't be easier to make and if you have a standing mixer, are super quick. All they require is 35 minutes in the oven and voila, some tasty treats for lunchboxes and snack time. I used some homemade strawberry jam as the filling but any jam would do...apricot would be good.
