Easter biscuits are a traditional[citation needed] British cuisine gift, given to guests on Easter Sunday.[1]
Originating from the West Country,[2] they are made from flour, butter, egg yolk, baking powder and sugar. Lightly spiced, the currant-studded soft and round biscuits have a soft, biscuity, sugary crunch. Some traditional recipes include Cassia oil.
Most often, they are slightly bigger than traditional British biscuits, at up to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.
