Jam Drop Biscuits

Jam drops are one of those nostalgic bakes that we could make on repeat forever. This version keeps everything we love about the original; buttery, tender and filled with vibrant fruit jam, while adding a little more nourishment through the inclusion of whey protein.

These biscuits aren't intended to replace whole-food sources of protein, but they are a simple way to increase the protein content of a favourite family bake. Paired with a cup of tea, or packed into a lunchbox.
