1 tbsp plain flour

BLACKBERRY JAM
200g blackberries
4 tbsp caster sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 To make the jam put the ingredients in a small pan over a medium-high heat and bubble for 6-8 mins or until thick and jammy. Mash the berries to release the juices as you stir – it doesn’t need to be smooth but should look sticky and glossy. Remove from the heat.
Put the butter, sugars and 50g of the white chocolate into a pan over a low heat and stir until the butter melts and the sugar grains dissolve. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes. Line a 20cm x 30cm tin with baking paper and heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas
