What the original account establishes

These notes distinguish the recorded result from quantities or settings the contributor did not specify. Follow each source link to the original passage.

  • The makers used the same recipe as Dylan and Maria’s pimped Jammie Dodger and spent £8.30 on ingredients. The dough was made, beaten up, chilled in the fridge for about half an hour, beaten again and split into two equal lumps rolled to fit two pie dishes. The off-cuts gave the splatter pattern and the JD logo, laid on the top layer before a heart shape was cut out, and the layers baked for approximately half an hour, with no temperature recorded. Once cooled on a tray the layers were sandwiched with an entire jar of raspberry jam, which the account admits was overboard, and the whole dodger was eaten.

The original account

After looking at Dylan’s & Maria’s Pimped Jammie Dodger we though we would give it a go too. Using the same recipe, we set out our jammy quest. After spending £8.30 on ingredients we were ready.

First we made the dough and proceeded to beat it up a bit, then we put it in the fridge to chill out.

After about half an hour we got the dough out of the fridge and beat it up a bit more, then we separated it into two equal sized lumps and rolled them out to fit in our pie dishes.

Using the off cuts we rolled out our splatter pattern and the all important ‘JD’ logo.

After placing the splatter on top, we cut out the heart shape and shoved the layers in the over to bake for approx half an hour. When they had cooked we placed the layers on a cooling tray. Once cooled we added the all important jam (it is a jammy dodger after all!!) going a tad overboard we added an entire jar of raspberry jam!!

And hay presto, a giant jammy dodger! then we scoffed it all!!
