Pull away pieces of dough about the size of a walnut and roll into balls then sit on the baking sheet and flatten with the heel of your hand. Make a thumb indentation in each one and add a small amount of jam into this then put in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until golden. Remove and place on a wire rack and leave to cool.
