Everyone in our house loves monte carlo biscuits. I’m not sure why, they just taste so yummy. So one cold and rainy day out in the middle of the bush, we were getting hungry and the boys suggested monte carlo biscuits. Of course we had none in the cupboard, so I decided to bake some.
Monte Carol Biscuits
These were so delicious, not exactly like the real things, but very close. I have made them multiple times now and they are always devoured very quickly.
The one thing with this recipe is making an even number of biscuits and getting the biscuits to roughly the same size. This makes it much easier when sandwiching them together.
For the filling, I used our homemade strawberry jam, which you can find the recipe here: Strawberry Jam.
