Product Information

g plain gluten free flour blend I use GFA Blend A (see NOTES), but an alternative flour blend should work fine. I should know, having conducted the Ultimate Biscuit Dunking Challenge in 2004, while I was editor of Waitrose Food Illustrated. Ahead of the curve (as ever), I gathered a team of food scientists and a further 100 volunteers to peer-review the results. We hired retort stands (don’t ask, but it sounded good), sourced traditional stopwatches (for a retro Olympic feel), and devised the ODT formula: Optimum Dunking Time. THE PERFECT SERVE: Jaffa Cake Gin is delicious in a gin spritz with prosecco to lengthen and a splash of soda, or in the world’s best Negroni - garnished with a Jaffa Cake of course!

MADE IN THE UK: The Jaffa Cake is a true British classic and our daring distillers cleverly crafted this chocolate-y concoction at our home in Kent, England. Jaffa Cakes This recipe lightens up Jaffa Cakes so you can indulge in a slimming-friendly version whether you are calorie counting, or following a plan like Weight Watchers.

This was then combined with the time it took for each brand of biscuit wholly to dissolve in tea. And thus we calculated the perfect amount of time for the dunking operation.” We prefer to use a granulated sweetener which is natural, has no nasty after taste, and weighs the same as sugar. They tend to cost a little more but they’re definitely worth it, and you’ll use less than the powdered variety of sweetener – there are a few brands available in the shops, so find one that suits you! But the undisputed winner was the Ginger Nut, with an ODT of 2.92 seconds and the result of being classed a classic dunker because the ginger became even more gingery while the biscuit held its crunch.

Jaffa Cakes - Pinch Of Nom

Giant lady fingers, meanwhile, showed a rusk-like ability to stand up to immersion in hot liquid for more than an hour, whereas Rich Tea biscuits dissolved so rapidly that the report concluded they were only perfect for those without teeth.
