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.
