Garibaldi Biscuits are a classic of English baking, created in honor of the Italian national hero Giuseppe Garibaldi in the 19th century. These biscuits combine flour, sugar, and raisins, forming a sweet and slightly tangy contrast that has won over generations. In different Latin American countries, they are simply known as raisin biscuits or dried fruit biscuits, although their essence remains true to the original British recipe. Their popularity has transcended borders, making them a staple at celebrations and family snacks.

How to Make Garibaldi Biscuits
Ingredients: raisins, salt, butter, self-raising flour, sugar, milk.
Step 1: Finely chop the dried fruit (raisins) to distribute them evenly.
Step 2: Put the flour and sugar in a bowl and lightly mix in the butter with your fingertips until a sandy texture is achieved.
Step 3: Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk to form a firm dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured board to work it better.
Step 4: Lightly flatten the dough with your hands, shaping it, and roll it out evenly until it reaches a thickness of 3 mm, maintaining a regular shape.
Step 5: Cut the dough into two equal halves. Sprinkle one half with the chopped fruit (raisins) evenly and cover with the other half of the dough.
Step 6: Lightly flour the board and roll out the mixture again until it reaches a thickness of 3 mm, keeping the shape as square as possible.
Step 7: Trim the edges for a clean finish and cut into squares or triangles according to preference.
Step 8: Place the biscuits on a greased baking tray and bake in a preheated hot oven at 200°C for 15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
