This is a basic biscuit that my Granny used for practically everything: for biscuit rolls, filled with jam and sprinkled with icing sugar; for fruit cakes, with vanilla pudding and fresh fruits and fruit gelee on top; even for such festive cakes as Frankfurter Kranz, which is filled with two different cremes and covered with ground walnuts in caramel.
