Homemade Super Tender Biscuits – Festive cooking with kids (Part 3)

Larisa Iernutan
Together with my daughter Sofia, I prepared these wonderful Christmas jam biscuits for the winter holidays, but you can bake this kids friendly dessert at any time of the year, without a special occasion.
So, as you probably already deduced, I am talking about an original recipe for the best jam biscuits, which can be filled with jam, or they can be served plain, sprinkled with a little powdered sugar.
