Don't know if this is what you mean but it is a favourite in our house.

Courting cake
8 oz self raising flour
4 oz sugar
4 oz marg
1 egg beaten
jam of choice

Rub the flour, marg and sugar together until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg and mix to a dough. On a well greased and floured baking tray gently flatten half of the dough into a circle 1/2 to 1cm thick. Spread with a generous layer of jam. On a really well floured surface gently flatten the other half of the dough to the same size and place it over the jammy half. !!!!! the top with a fork (make a nice pattern if you want to) sprinkle over a little more sugar and bake at 180C for 30 mins.

The final 'cake' is somewhere in between a cake and a pasty. It is a good way of using up those delicious homemade jams that the kids won't otherwise touch because they're not strawberry.

We used to make jam and apple 'turnovers' by getting a square of puff pastry, putting a blob of jam or stewed apple just off centre, brushing the edges with water and then folding it over into a triangle. They were then brushed with egg-wash, sprinkled with granulated sugar and baked in a hot oven until brown and crisp. The apple ones are gorgeous if you split them whilst still warm and put in a blob of ice-cream or whipped cream

Is this the kind of thing you meant?
