Not To Be Trifled With

I love a good trifle.
Are we seeing a pattern here?
Very, very few desserts that I don't like.

Here is a quick one perfect for this time of the year. The best thing about it, is that you do _nothing_. This is rugrat territory.

When I was around nine, and of an impressionable age, my Mother decided that I should stop leaving so many impressions, and do something useful in the kitchen for once.
She gave me this recipe, and only I was allowed to make it:

Jammies

2 cups Bisquick
1/4 cup butter softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup milk
A jar of Raspberry jam

Combine everything except the jam together in a mixing bowl, very quickly. Spoon out large dollops on a small buttered baking pan, dent the center with a Bisquicked thumb, and carefully place a small teaspoon of Raspberry jam in each dent. You have enough to repeat this a couple of times.

Bake in a High oven for about ten minutes, until the biscuits just begin to brown. Serve with good strong milky tea. (Like most quickbread recipes, these don't really keep, so you might as well just finish them off.)

Clean up. This is by far the most important part of the recipe, and the one part that I never really got right.
