Instructions

  1. In a bowl, rub the cold butter cubes into the flour until you have a coarse, sandy texture.
  2. Add the cream cheese, egg yolk, cream, sugar and salt, then knead quickly without overworking the dough.
  3. Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hour.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and roll out the dough to 3 mm thick on a floured surface.
  5. Cut out squares of about 6 cm and place a small spoonful of jam in the centre of each.
  6. Fold the corners into the middle to form little parcels, then arrange on a tray lined with baking paper.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden.
  8. Let them cool and dust with icing sugar before serving.

Variations and tips

Walnut version. Add the chopped walnuts to the jam for a crunchier filling.
