Jam drop biscuits are a wonderful bake to do with children. A hands on recipe that can get very sticky, the kids will love it!

Make the dough and roll into small balls, poke a hole in the centre of each one.

Fill the hole with a small dollop of Jam, I used my homemade Gooseberry Jam.
Pop in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.

After they have been chilled, pop in the oven at 170°c for 10 minutes.

Aren’t they beautiful? Such an easy, delicious bake, my husband and kids love these in their packed lunches.

Give it a try and let me know how you got on in the comments or tag me on Instagram, I would love to see your creations.
