So tasty and yet so simple! These jam slices can be made with any jam you like and are perfect with a nice cup of tea or coffee. They can be served elegantly on a saucer and eaten with a fork. Or you can roll out the dough, cover it with jam, roll it up and make little roulades. They may look different, but they will taste just as delicious.
