Baking at Christmas is definitely one of my favourite things to do. One thing I make each Christmas is sea salt water biscuits. They are really easy and quick to do, make a lovely gift and are perfect with pate, or cheese and some of my homemade tomato chilli jam. The best recipe I’ve found is a BBC Good Food one.
