This is one I've used when I've been baking with my little GS. They were nice - didn't last long, anyway! grin

Does anyone have a recipe for these cakes, they were one of the first things we made in cookery in school, I think they were are rubbing in method and you put jam in the thumbprint indentations then baked. I am not even sure the name I am using is correct but was the only way I could think of describing them.
