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 haven’t thought about Honey Jumbles in about 40 years

@mativity They’re one those very old fashioned bikkies, aren’t they? Arnott’s discontinued them, along with several others, due to lack of demand.

@Wonderdog used to eat them after school, with a glass of milk.

@mativity They are to me as madeleines were to Proust. A cup of milky tea for me, and often as a treat after studying.
