1. Sieve the flour and the salt and set aside to warm up

4. Roll the dough out till it is 1/4 inch thick.
5. Use a large 1 1/2 inch cutter and cut out the rounds.
6. Place a little jam on each circle and then damp the edges and put another circle on the top while joining the edges very well
7. Set aside to proove for a quarter of an hour.

Another method of making these will be to cut out 2 inch rounds and put the jam in the center. Pull up the edges of the circle and join them with a little water. Roll out the center lightly.
