Base

Method

Base

  1. 1

    Prepare biscuit

    If using a store-bought ready-to-bake biscuit: preheat oven according to package instructions (typically 375°F / 190°C). Place biscuit on a baking sheet and bake until golden and cooked through (usually 10–14 minutes). Remove and let cool 2–3 minutes, then split open. If using a slice of bread or toast: toast the bread in a toaster or under a broiler until golden and crisp to your liking (about 2–4 minutes).

  2. 2

    While the biscuit or toast is still warm, spread 1 tablespoon (or 1 tbs) softened butter evenly on each half (or on each slice). The warmth will help the butter melt slightly, creating a glossy base for the jam.

Jam & Toppings

  1. 3

    Spoon 2 teaspoons (tsp) of your chosen jam onto each buttered half (or each slice). Use the back of the spoon to spread the jam into an even layer. Adjust quantity to taste if you prefer a thicker or thinner layer.

  2. 4

    If using fresh fruit, arrange slices or berries on top of the jam now. For a touch of extra sweetness and shine, drizzle up to 1 teaspoon of honey over the fruit and jam.

  3. 5

    Optional finishing: for a subtle contrast, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the jam and fruit. This enhances the fruit flavor, especially with sweet jams.

To Serve

  1. 6

    Serve the biscuit or toast warm, on a small plate. Offer a hot beverage or a cup of milk alongside if desired.

  2. 7

    Consume immediately for best texture: warm, slightly crisp base with melted butter and spread jam.
