Step by Step Method
Step 1
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until pale and creamy and add the egg and beat until combined.
Step 2
Sift flour over butter mixture and beat until combined and then divide dough into 3 equal portions.
Step 3
Place jelly crystals in 3 separate bowls and working with one flavour at a time, add 1 tablespoon boiling water and whisk to combine (crystals will not dissolve completely) and now add 1 portion of dough and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
Step 4
Place on a sheet of plastic wrap and using plastic wrap to avoid dough sticking to your fingers, shape into an 18cm-long log and repeat with remaining jelly crystals, boiling water and dough to make 3 logs and freeze for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced.
Step 6
Line 3 large baking trays with baking paper.
Step 7
Remove 1 dough log from freezer and slice log into 1cm-thick rounds and roll each round into a ball. Place balls, 3cm apart, on one of the prepared trays and press down slightly with palm of hand and then repeat with remaining dough logs.
Step 8
Bake for 12 minutes or until light golden and cool on trays for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
