The jam in a Jam 'n' Cream is, according to the published label, a raspberry flavoured apple jam, and its sharpness is what stops the biscuit tasting of sugar alone. The jam sits inside a three-part sandwich, and that construction is also the biscuit's weak point.

Three parts, one bite

Two plain, crisp rounds do the structural work and add a quiet shortcake note, little more. Between them sits a sweet vanilla cream, which carries most of the sugar, and set into the middle of that cream is the jam. The label names it raspberry flavoured apple jam at 9% of the biscuit, made with apple purée and coloured with anthocyanins.

That plain biscuit is deliberate. A strongly flavoured round on each side would leave the fruit nowhere to be noticed, so the jam takes the stage and supplies the acidity that keeps the cream from reading as flat sweetness. The ingredients also show wheat flour, dried skimmed milk and soya lecithin, and the allergen statement lists wheat (gluten), milk and soya.

Why it stays out of the mug

Fat is all that holds the two rounds together, and fat softens with heat. Dip one in tea and the cream goes slack within a second, the jam moves with it and the sandwich parts in the cup. Keep it dry and let the tea work on it between bites; this is a biscuit for beside the cup, never for inside it.

The same weakness matters in storage. A warm kitchen, a sunny windowsill or a spot next to the kettle is enough to loosen the cream, and once the jam starts to slide the top round begins to shift. Keep the packet somewhere cool and shaded, and close it up after opening, because the crisp rounds are the first part to go stale.

The tin biscuit and its tea

Jam 'n' Cream belongs to Fox's everyday range, not its chocolate-coated lines. It is the sort of biscuit that lives in the tin and gets topped up without a second thought, and a 150g packet suits that. If you want chocolate from the same maker, the Milk Chocolate Viennese is the richer choice; for a plate of guests, the Classic Selection gives more variety.

A biscuit this sweet needs tannin against it. Pour a strong, unsugared tea such as an English breakfast or a Welsh blend, with milk if you like; a black coffee works too. For a gentler match, a vanilla redbush echoes the cream instead of cutting through it, which suits a slow afternoon rather than a quick break at the desk.

FAQ

What is in a Fox's Jam 'n' Cream biscuit? Two crisp rounds, a vanilla cream layer and a centre of jam that the label names as raspberry flavoured apple jam.

Can you dunk Jam 'n' Cream biscuits? No. The cream softens almost instantly in hot tea and the sandwich comes apart.

What tea goes with jam and cream biscuits? A plain, strong tea without sugar, such as an English or Welsh breakfast blend. A black coffee works as well.

Are Jam 'n' Cream biscuits suitable if you avoid milk? No. The ingredients include dried skimmed milk, and the allergen statement lists wheat (gluten), milk and soya. Always check the current pack.

How should I store sandwich biscuits? Somewhere cool, away from the kettle and out of the sun, with the packet closed; warmth loosens the cream.

Curator's note: Two from the tin, a strong mug and no dunking: that is how this biscuit wants to be eaten. Keep the packet at the far end of the worktop from the kettle. Lee, teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
