Marie biscuit
A Marie (also known as María) is a type of sweet
biscuit
similar to a
Rich Tea
biscuit. It is made with
wheat flour
, sugar, vegetable oil and, unlike the Rich Tea biscuit,
vanilla
flavoring. The biscuit is round and has its name engraved into its top
surface. The edges of the top surface are also engraved with an intricate
design.
While the Rich Tea biscuit is the most popular version of this biscuit in
the United Kingdom, it is the Marie version that is most popular in most other
countries, particularly Australia, India, South Africa, and Spain. Like the
Rich Tea biscuit, many consider the Marie's plain flavor to make it particularly
suitable for
dunking
in tea. Other popular methods of consuming the biscuit includes using two
to make a sandwich with butter and
marmite
or
condensed milk
spread in between, covering it with
golden syrup
, and crumbling it up in
custard
and
jelly
. Marie biscuits are frequently served to children. Babies may be served
the biscuits softened in milk as their first solid food. Marie biscuits are also
a common ingredient in home baking recipes. In
Spain
The Marie biscuit was created by an English bakery
in London in 1874 to commemorate the marriage of the
Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia
to the
Duke of Edinburgh
