That'll teach me to be such a smartarse!

[mike11111]

If I remember rightly, weren't they very thin, with the texture, though not flavour, of a ginger snap?

[mrsmurphey]

very thin, shiny with a brownish edge and a strong vanilla flavour, nothing else like them!!

This may help....googling told me these traditional French biscuits are the closest.

i´m quite parcial to crawfords arrowroot, for dunking.
but for a yummy bicky, have you tried Ikea´s thin ginger biscuits? bloody addictive

[mrsmurphey]

thanks pastafreak. these do sound similar, aren't they usually made with just white of egg, no yolk?

Simple. Go to my blog at The Perrigaux Kitchen and later today I will be posting a recipe for Langue du Chat. Exactly the same as Barmouth biscuits which I too loved as a boy. It's actually a tuile recipe.
