    What You Need

    The ingredients for jam drops.
    • Butter - you can use salted or unsalted butter for this recipe. Allow to soften to room temperature before using
    • Caster Sugar - this is a superfine sugar that's perfect for baking as it dissolves when mixed with the butter
    • Egg - use a large egg (at room temperature)
    • Plain flour - also known as all purpose flour
    • Baking powder - just a tiny amount!
    • Jam - any flavour you like. Raspberry is my favourite option!

    Step By Step Instructions

    10 minutes active prep time is all that's needed to prepare jam drops!

    Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Cream The Butter & Sugar

    Place the butter and sugar into the Thermomix bowl. Mix until pale, smooth and creamy.

    Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

    Step 4 - Chill The Dough

    Place the dough into the fridge for 30 minutes to chill (this will stop the biscuits from over-spreading when baked).

    Step 5 - Bake

    Roll the mixture into small balls.

    Use your knuckle to make a deep hole in the centre of the dough (not the whole way through).

    Place a TINY amount of jam (approx ⅛th teaspoon) into the hole.

    Bake for 10 minutes (do NOT overbake as the jam will spread).

    Expert Tips

    • Choose any flavour of jam you like!
    • Only add a TINY amount of jam - otherwise it will overflow.
    • Create a deep hole (not the whole way through) for the jam to go in using your knuckle.
    • Chill the dough for a minimum of 30 minutes before baking (this is help stop over-spreading)
    • Do NOT overcook the biscuits, they will firm on cooling. Overcooking the biscuits will cause the jam to spread.
    • Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
    • Freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost at room temperature before consuming.

    FAQs

    Why did my jam spread?

    There are 3 main reasons your jam may spread:
    - adding too much jam to the hole
    - not making the hole deep enough to keep the jam in
    - overcooking the biscuits

    Do I need to chill the dough?

    Yes! Chilling the dough helps it to stop over-spreading when baked.

      Flat and fabulous. Makes lots of biscuits. I used nuttelex in place of butter. I also only had icing sugar which made a dough a bit too runny or perhaps the nuttelex? I just added more flour and mixed it in with the spatula until I had more of a biscuit dough texture.

      So quick to make in the thermomix and although they were quite flat, they were crunchy and buttery. I sprinkled some icing sugar on top for a beautiful biscuit to serve my guests and for the kids to pack in their lunch boxes. I will try your tips on having them less flat. They still were a hit and I'll be making these again! Thanks for the recipe.

      I made these and after reading the comments I used self raising flour and a teaspoon of baking powder. They “still” turned out flat. I suspect it’s because my butter melted slightly when it mixed with the sugar after heating it slightly in the previous step. Still yummy and grandkids will think they are getting a bigger biscuit! ?

      A lovely jam drop! They do rise in the oven but then flatten slightly on cooling. But are still fluffy. I used ordinary white sugar plus a dash of vanilla, mine were more buttery than I'd liked, but I put that down to the sugar and the type of butter used. Thank you for a lovely Thermomix recipe! ???

        Hi Crystal, I've added some tips and notes into the recipe which will hopefully help you in the future. Basically these biscuits are meant to be flat - but there are a few things you can do to ensure that they are slightly more risen (like in the pictures). I would say that the most important thing is to make sure that when you roll your dough into balls, you don't flatten it down. Simply place an indent into the ball with your knuckle (without flattening the dough). xx

      Any hints of how to ensure biscuits don't go flat? Tried the dough in the fridge and they still all went flat. Nice taste though!

        Hi Liss, you can try chilling the dough in the fridge before rolling them into balls to keep them nice and round. 🙂

      My biscuits came out flat. Is it definitely plain flour & only 1/2 tsp baking powder?

        Hi Olivia, I'm sorry the Jam Drops didn't turn out for you. Yes it is definitely just 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and you don't want the biscuits to rise too much. Maybe your baking powder is out of date?
