Warbecks

Warbecks are a type of traditional English biscuit, also known as warblets or warbleys. They are made from a simple mixture of flour, water, and sometimes a small amount of sugar or treacle, and are typically baked at home. The dough is rolled out thinly and cut into shapes, often circles or squares, before being baked in the oven until crisp. Warbecks are a traditional treat in many English households and are often enjoyed as a snack or with tea.

The name "Warbecks" is believed to derive from the Old English word "warpa," meaning to twist or turn, referring to the process of rolling out the dough. They are a popular choice for baking projects due to their straightforward recipe and the satisfaction of creating a homemade treat. Warbecks can be enjoyed plain or topped with various ingredients such as jam, chocolate, or coconut.

While Warbecks are a traditional English treat, they are not widely commercially produced. Instead, they are typically made at home by families and individuals who enjoy the process of baking. The simplicity of the recipe allows for creativity in terms of shapes, toppings, and flavors, making Warbecks a versatile and enjoyable treat.
