Henry Gave Anne An Elaborate Coronation That Included Clothes Made From Gold

🍪🍪 THE MARIE BISCUIT 🍪🍪

🍪 The Marie biscuit was produced in 1874 by the London bakery Peek Freans, in commemoration of Russia's Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna's marriage to the Duke of Edinburgh.

🍪 The name Marie is a variation of the biscuit’s original name of Maria, Russia’s Grand Duchess Maria.
The wedding was the inspiration behind the biscuit’s birth when an English bakery made a sweet small round cookie stamped with the Duchess name, Maria.
They have also been known as María, Mariebon, and Marietta.

🍪 The biscuit became very popular throughout Europe, specifically in Spain where it became the country's symbol of economic recovery after the Civil War.
The biscuits were produced in mass quantities in Spanish bakeries during that time, due to wheat surplus.

🍪 The biscuit is round and usually has the name embossed on its top surface, whose edges are embossed with an intricate design. It is made from wheat flour, sugar, palm oil or sunflower seed oil - and is usually vanilla-flavored in comparison to the plain rich tea biscuit.

🍪 Marie biscuits are also enjoyed as sandwich biscuits to be filled with jam, margarine or butter.
Spread condensed milk between the cookies - cover the biscuits in golden syrup or crumble them with jelly and custard for a sweet irresistible dessert.
