One biscuit I really miss is garibaldi, so after 6 years it was about time I made my own gluten free ones really! They are really easy to make and crunchy too! They could even by made dairy free if you needed to as well, just switch to a dairy free margarine and milk! These are perfect with a brew on a weekday afternoon.

Contains

  • Dairy
  • Egg

Method

  1. In a bowl place the flour, sugar and salt, using your fingertips rub in the butter until you get a breadcrumb type consistency.

  2. To bring the mix to a dough add the milk a little at a time, add a tablespoon at a time as you don't want the dough becoming to wet.

  3. Bring the dough together with your hands into a ball, it should all stick together but not be wet. Wrap in cling film and place in a fridge for 20 mins to firm up.

  4. Roll the biscuit dough out to about 3-4mm thick between two pieces of clingfilm or greaseproof, you want to try and keep it at a rough rectangle shape.

  5. Once you have the thickness, scatter the currants over half of the rectangle, fold the other side over the top of the currants and re-roll until about 4mm thick.

  6. Cut the dough into smaller rectangle biscuits, we made about 18. Lay these on a baking tray, brush the tops with egg white and bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown in an oven preheated to gas mark 4/180c.

  7. Once cooked leave on the baking tray for about 5 mins to firm them transfer to a cooling rack

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this brilliant ant recipe. I missed Garibaldi biscuits so much but, no longer! Wonderful 😊. Thank you x

No kidding, these are absolutely delicious. It was really hard for me not to scarf the entire lot hot from the oven. I did glaze them with whole beaten egg and scatter the tops with Demerara sugar before baking, which added to the scrumminess.

Hi, this recipe looks fantastic. Our household is also egg free. Would the egg be easy enough to omit in this case? Thank you.

Hi, the biscuits would need something to bind the mix, it may work with egg replacer or flax egg but I can't guarantee it!

Can you use almond flour to cut down on the carbs?
Alison @ Coeliac Sanctuary23rd September 2022
It will give it a slightly different texture but I don't see why you couldn't use it.

Hi Julie, something had gone wrong with our backend code, which affected all recipes, and it was showing what allergens it was free from rather than what it contained. The issue has now been fixed.
