Jammy Dodgers

Did you know that Jammy Dodgers are named after a character in the Beano comics?

Oh yes, the one and only Roger the Dodger. Why ? Jammy is a slang word for “lucky” in the UK. So a Jammy Dodger is a scamp or scoundrel who can talk his way out of trouble.

A simple explanations of a Jammy (also Jammie) Dodger, it is a biscuit made from two layers of shortbread-like cookies filled with lots of different options. Strawberry Jam is the classic and the best in my opinion.

So now for the million dollar question – do you have a lovable and mischievous little rogue like Roger the Dodger in your life the you can share these yum biscuits with ?

I believe, in these situations – quality over quantity!

Choose a delicious, where possible homemade snack food, eat it, savour every moment of yumminess and be satisfied.

Baking for me is all about simple maths and  developing ways to remember recipes – I love this one  – I use an old  shortbread biscuit recipe ratio –  3:2:1

3 parts flour

2 parts butter

1 icing sugar

These Valentine’s Day biscuits are an ideal way to spend a chilly spring day with the little ones you love getting creative and having quality together and learning a little as they go.

With fun & deliciousness,
