October 26th is Grandparents Day a beautiful reminder to celebrate the love, wisdom, and laughter shared across generations. What better way to honour it than with a classic recipe that feels like home: Jam Drop Biscuits.
These nostalgic little biscuits are perfect for baking with grandkids, gifting to Nan, or sharing over a cuppa. Simple to make and even simpler to enjoy, they’re a sweet nod to tradition and togetherness.

Why we love it:
Food has a way of connecting us, just like grandparents do. These little biscuits are a chance to share stories, giggles, and sticky jam fingers with the people who matter most.
