The Story Behind The Recipe
My granny used to make these stuffed monkey biscuits with me. She had this huge square table that she would clear and we would roll out the dough together and then shmear it with apricot jam and raisins – the best part was that she let me roll up the stuffed monkeys into a massive “tube” and then she sliced it into little biscuits. Granny Essie was my first cooking influence and my partner in crime for eating ice-cream.
