Roll up the dough into a sausage, flatten it and cut into biscuit size portions. Bake at gas 5, 375 F 180 C for about 30 - 40 minutes until golden brown.

Intriguing name - why Stuffed Monkeys? Made today,used fine cut marmalade as had no apricot jam, but delighted with the result. Will definitely do again.
I made these for my dad's 91st birthday party and boy did they go down a treat with young and old alike
