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. Â I am so glad I can share a part of my childhood from my Nan with my kids.
