How to Make Jam Drops
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease three baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, coconut, and sugar.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter and milk, mixing until just combined. The dough should be crumbly; add 1-2 tablespoons more milk if needed, but avoid making it too wet.
- Using your hands, shape level tablespoons of the mixture into balls (approximately 1.5 inches in diameter).
- Place the balls about 7cm (2.75 inches) apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently press the handle of a wooden spoon into the center of each ball to create a 5mm (1/4 inch) deep indentation.
- Add about 1/4 teaspoon of jam to the hollow of each biscuit.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Bake in batches if necessary.
- Remove from the oven and, while still warm, add another 1/4 teaspoon of jam to each indentation.
- Let the Jam Drops cool on the baking sheets until firm enough to transfer.
- Carefully move the cooled cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container between layers of baking paper. Enjoy within a week (if they last that long!).
