Russian Jam Biscuits for Tea Time image

This was always another favorite of my husband Philips. Filled with your favorite jam or preserves, these biscuits are a tasty addition to brunch parties, showers etc. My favorites are with Blackberry, Bluberry or raspberry preserves, but you can use any type you like. Strawberry, orange, apricot so many delicious ways to make...

These biscuits were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding a little bit of milk to the dough next time.
