The Garibaldi biscuits I remember as a girl in England were also made with currants. My two pesky brothers were always trying to say they were made with squashed flies, hence we always call them fly biscuits.
Your website is beautiful.

Hi Erika, I know it’s been a while since you left your comment on my blog! I’ve been rather busy but I’ve finally visited you! Your blog is lovely, especially the photography. And when I saw this recipe, I knew I will have to try it out coz I love (what it’s called locally) sultana biscuits I buy from the store.

Hi,
thanks you for your lovely compilments! I am so pleased the ladies liked the biscuits and look forward to hearing from them. What a great idea to make cards with my blog details on them – I will do this in the future

I made the biscuits for my MahJong ladies and they had never heard of them before. All I heard was ooh’s and aah’s and “oh I just have to try one more even though I have had several already”! I was asked if you had your own bakery and how did you become such a great cook. Also made up little cards with your blog site and gave them to many of the ladies so………….. wait for the comments. They truly were delighted and since I brought some back home, we can continue to enjoy! Really delicious and difficult to have just one! Incredibly easy to make as well.

Hi Noni,
so pleased you like the stories, I try to make them personal but not too long! As for your question re the raisins – no you would not ruin them Quite the contrary – they should turn out great! I just personally prefer currents and find that you can make flatter biscuits with them (as raisins tend to be slightly larger).
Please let me know how they turn out.

Katiez, hi, thanks for your sweet note! My uncle has tried many variations of these biscuits and this is the recipes he prefers. What is nice is that they are not too sweet or overly buttery (naturally my excuse to eat just 1 more!). And as for the ‘naming’ story… well this trend seems to have become a trend as my uncle has a nickname for everyone – I don’t think he has ever called me by name real name ha ha

Love the ‘naming’ story! What an interesting biscuit recipe – almost like a biscotti without the second baking! And they look lovely…
