What’s not to love about home made monte carlo biscuits, and here’s my nana’s monte carlo biscuit recipe. These delights are a part of my childhood memories. I made them when I had Cafe Gabrielle, my sister makes them, my mum makes them, my nana made them. They are legend. It’s the heady combination of honey and custard powder that does it for me. With the addition of raspberry jam this monte carlo biscuit recipe is extra special.
Want something a little lower in carbs, how about keto cinnamon scrolls, soooo more-ish!
