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