How to Make Old Fashioned Cheesecakes
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to about 3mm thickness.
- Using a 7cm biscuit cutter, cut out 12 rounds of pastry.
- Gently press the pastry rounds into 12 individual patty tins.
- Spread about ½ teaspoon of jam onto each pastry round.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, lemon zest, and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the batter reaches a soft dropping consistency.
- Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared patty tins, filling each about ¾ full.
- If desired, top each cheesecake with thin strips of leftover pastry.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cakes spring back when lightly touched.
- Let the cheesecakes cool in the tins for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, dust with sifted icing sugar and serve immediately.
