You may say that these biscuits look Christmassy but they are actually a childhood favourite of mine. I did come across the original recipe whilst on Christmas break at my parents house and I was so happy I did.  In Brazil they are often sold as little balls that melt in your mouth, I remember like it was yesterday eating them at my grandma’s house.  The original recipe belongs to my aunt, but I modified it as it asked for margarine and I never, ever buy margarine. So I tested it 3 times and settled on this recipe. Easy, quick, inexpensive and gluten free. It’s best served with a cup of milky coffee. Maize thumbprint biscuits (makes 36 biscuits) 150g coconut oil 1 egg 200g condensed milk 350g cornflour Seedless raspberry jam Icing sugar to dust 1. Preheat the oven to 170C (fan).
