Partner, on learning Honey Jumbles are no longer available at the shops, has asked me to make some.

It’s been a long time since I’ve made any, and they’re a simple bake - except that they really need to be left overnight for the flavours to develop, and to change from a biscuit to that lovely, cake-like texture.

So I’ll have to make a distraction bake alongside, to give the Honey Jumbles a chance.

Hmmmm.

Oddly enough, my recipe doesn’t contain any honey. Only golden syrup. Other more modern recipes have honey, and I’ve seen still others with treacle.

@Wonderdog I don't think I've ever had one.
@Inge oh, they’re one of my favourites! I can’t think of anything to compare them to, quite in a category by themselves. A soft gingerbread biscuit cake cross, with glacé icing?
