The Most Delicious Jam Drop Recipe

These jam drops remind me of my Nan, they were one of her good old favourites that she used to bake regularly. These are quick, easy and ooohhh so delicious!

I was searching through some of my old recipes and I came across this recipe handwritten by my Nan. She was a great baker, always having beautiful fresh new treats ready for when we visited, scones, ANZAC biscuits and my favourite were her Jam Drops. To my delight, I found this recipe.  I am so glad I can share a part of my childhood from my Nan with my kids.
