   • Grease 3 oven or cookie trays.
   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted self-raising flour, desiccated coconut, and white sugar.
   • Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

3. Incorporate Wet Ingredients:

   • Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.
   • Pour in the melted butter and milk.
   • Mix thoroughly until the dough comes together. It may appear crumbly at first.

4. Shape the Dough:

   • Using your hands, shape tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into balls. It’s better to shape them rather than roll them to maintain a textured appearance.
   • Place the dough balls about 7cm (3 inches) apart on the prepared trays.

5. Create Indentations:

   • With the handle of a wooden spoon, gently press into the center of each dough ball to create a small indentation, about 5mm (1/4 inch) deep.
   • If the dough cracks slightly, gently push it back together to retain the shape.

6. Add Jam:

   • Using your finger, carefully spoon about 1/4 teaspoon of plum jam into each indentation. Be careful not to overfill.

7. Bake:

   • Place the trays in the preheated oven on the center shelf/shelves.
   • Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly browned.
   • You may need to bake them in batches depending on the size of your oven and trays.

8. Final Touch:

   • Once baked, remove the trays from the oven.
   • While the biscuits are still warm, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of jam into each indentation for a burst of flavor.

9. Cool and Store:

   • Allow the Jam Drops to cool on wire racks.
   • Once completely cooled, store them in an airtight container layered with baking (silicone) paper to maintain freshness.
   • They can be stored for up to a week, although they are likely to be enjoyed long before then!
