notes
- Basic pantry ingredients will get you a mountain of delicious biscuits to feed the masses.
- Make sure you give these enough space on the baking tray to spread.
- These are perfect for afternoon tea.
- Kids love helping to make biscuits but as the jam can get quite hot in this recipe, why not have fun with cookie cutters and make shaped biscuits instead.
- Jam drops go with a cup of tea like chocolate-chip cookies go with hot milk.
