Description
Tender, buttery mini almond‑flavored tea cakes filled with wild blueberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar—delicate, melt‑in‑your‑mouth treats perfect for teatime or casual snacking.
Ingredients
2 cups all‑purpose flour
1 cup almond flour (or finely ground blanched almonds)
⅔ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
½ tsp almond extract
½ cup wild blueberry jam (or your favorite jam), room temperature
Powdered sugar for dusting
48 mini muffin paper baking cups
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a 24‑cup mini muffin tin with paper baking cups, or place cups on a parchment‑lined baking sheet
In a food processor, pulse together all‑purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended. Add softened butter, vanilla, and almond extract; pulse until a soft dough forms. Transfer to a bowl if needed.
Using a small cookie scoop (flat), portion the dough into tight balls. Gently press each ball with your pinky to create a shallow well in the center. Place each into a paper cup, indentation facing upward
Fill each well with about 1/4 tsp jam—slightly overflowing is fine
Bake for 15–18 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake. Cool in tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar before serving . Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
