I often bake Cinnamon Crumble. Just Cinnamon Crumble only, without fruit OR cake. Then I realised it is the same thing as Shortbread which is made with Butter, Sugar and Flour. I stared adding other Spices to Cinnamon Crumble dough, and using Brown Sugar instead of White Sugar. The yummy Spiced Crumbles are transformed into these yummy Spiced Biscuits.
