These are traditional Easter biscuits with currants and mixed spice, we have also included some candied peel for a zesty citrus variation - you could leave this out or add some orange or lemon zest instead if you prefer. To finish, these biscuits are glazed with egg white and sprinkled with sugar during baking.
