Fox's Golden Crunch Creams - 200g

In the British biscuit aisle, the cream biscuits have their own little parliament: custard creams, bourbons and, holding the crunchy end of the bench, Golden Crunch Creams. They are a tea-break biscuit, plain and proud of it.

The trouble with missing a biscuit is that you cannot describe it to anyone. You say crunchy, with cream in the middle, and they nod and hand you something that is not it. So you end up typing the name into a search bar at eleven at night, which is how most people find us.

They come in a 200g packet, the standard British size, which is either a week of sensible tea breaks or one honest evening. Roll the end over or tip them into a tin and keep them somewhere cool and dry so the crunch stays a crunch. Dunk quickly. Count to two, not five.

Fox's is the Yorkshire biscuit maker behind a good share of the British biscuit cupboard, and a packet of these sits happily next to a box of proper tea in the same order. Most people find that is how it ends up.
