| 1. Grease 3 oven or cookie trays. | 2. Preheat oven to 180C (350F). | 3. Combine sifted flour, coconut and sugar in a large mixing bowl. | 4. Mix well. | 5. Make a well in the flour mixture and stir in melted butter and milk. | 6. Mix well. | 7. (Don't worry if the batter looks a bit crumbly.) Using your hands, shape, rather than roll, level tablespoons of the mixture into balls. | 8. (Don't worry if the balls aren't perfectly round). | 9. If the mixture seems too crumbly at this stage, add a tablespoon or two of milk to the batter, but be careful not to make it too wet- it should still look crumbly and the dough should just come together with the heat of your hands. | 10. Place balls about 7cm (3") apart on oven trays. | 11. (They will flatten out as they cook.) Now, holding the balls together with the fingers of one hand, gently push the handle of a wooden spoon into the centre of each biscuit to make an indentation about 5mm (1/4") deep. | 12. (If the biscuits split a little just gently push the dough back together.) Using a finger to ease the jam off the spoon, drop about 1/4 teaspoon of jam into the hollow of each biscuit. | 13. (Be neat and don't overfill- you can add more jam later.) Bake on the centre shelf/shelves of a moderate 180C/350F oven for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned. | 14. Cook in batches if necessary. | 15. Remove plum drops from oven and leave on trays while you add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of jam into each hollow. | 16. When plum drops are firm to touch, remove gently to cool on wire racks. | 17. Store in an airtight container between layers of baking (silicone) paper. | 18. They will keep well for up to a week- if they last that long! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
