Hands up everyone who remembers these biscuits from their childhood. If you found yourself nodding to this one, you are too old and if you are looking quizzically at the picture, you are too young.
When I was a young tyke, my grandma would buy these biscuits for me from the neighbourhood sundry shop (grocery shop). I would go along with her sometimes and it was always fun to ogle at the many types of biscuits in their large tins with a clear plastic window in the front.
There is a slight lemon/citrus scent to the biscuit fingers and in the cream filling that sandwiches each finger. I’m not sure what these are called but Sis bought them for me in a fit of nostalgia, and they were labelled as “Lemon biscuit fingers”. You sometimes find them in assorted biscuit tins, but they don’t taste as good as the loose ones you can still buy by weight.

Sorry….correction on the previous comment. Please delete.
These are called Butter Cream…yes, our local style. But my grandmother being not English literate, called it Mata Kilim. Amen. Grandma.
I remember running along to the sundry shop and ogling the biscuits too. It’s kinda funny how now we make enough to afford more expensive stuff but nothing beats those sundry shop biscuits.
