Sugarveil – A How To… Part 2

Removing from the Mat

First up lay a sheet of non-stick baking paper just over twice the size of the mat on the worksurface. I have done it directly onto the worktop which resulted in the sheet sticking to it like glue, after all that hard work you don’t need that!

Real Jammy Dodgers – with the chewy raspberry caramel filling. Yes I know you can just sandwich them with jam but that’s not quite the same is it? Fill these with raspberry caramel and you’ll be in Jammy Dodger heaven!

Ingredients:

220g butter

110g caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

340g plain flour

Raspberry Caramel (recipe here)

Makes 18.

Raspberry Caramel

Posted on August 9, 2012 by The Pink Whisk

- think of the endless possibilities – drizzled over icecream, profiteroles, Jammy Dodgers , eaten from the spoon (did I really just say that?!) This raspberry caramel is completely delicious!

Ingredients:

300g caster sugar

75ml water

120g raspberries

approx 75ml double cream

100g butter

Start off with the raspberries – Fresh ones I’ve found will give you more puree and the reddest colour caramel but frozen ones aren’t bad either if that’s all you have.
