About the Recipe: “The seedy biscuits are delicious – the same kind that the young David Copperfield offered to a little girl he had fallen in love with as a token of his esteem- and they go beautifully with our Darjeeling tea.” This cookie is crisp with a buttery flavor, dotted with either poppyseeds, caraway seeds, or both of them. During Victorian years, they favored using seeds in baked dishes.
Recipe Inspired by: Dinner with Dickens by Pen Vogler Cico Books. 2017
