Garibaldi Biscuits
Traditional Garibaldi biscuits are a British biscuit consisting of two thin biscuits sandwiching squashed currants. This modern twist on the classic is lighter and very delicious when served with afternoon tea. You can store the biscuits in a tin for up to two weeks and if you are short of currants, you can also substitute with raisins or sultanas.
