Wightmans

Wightmans are a type of traditional English biscuit, also known as Wightman's biscuits, named after the Wightman family who were bakers in the 19th century. They are characterized by their distinctive shape, which is a flat, round biscuit with a hole in the center, similar to a doughnut. The biscuits are typically made from a simple dough of flour, butter, and sugar, and are often flavored with spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg. Wightmans are often served as a snack or a treat, and are sometimes used in baking recipes as a base for other desserts. They are a popular choice for tea time in the UK and are often associated with the traditional English afternoon tea. The biscuits are typically baked in a special mold that gives them their distinctive shape, and are often sold in boxes or tins. Wightmans are a classic example of a traditional English biscuit, and are still widely available in bakeries and supermarkets across the UK.
