I remember exactly the shape, the size and the weight of the sandwich-like wafer, and the artificial lemon flavour, sweet and tingly.

Huntley & Palmers was the largest biscuit manufacturer in the world. Almost half of production was exported by 1914, with 50 percent destined for the Far East and Africa. These were the days when you could literally say 'give your children biscuits because it's good for your health!'" says Magold, showing us pictures of teddy bear shaped biscuits, and others colourfully iced with alluring patterns of pink, puce, red and gold. Antique biscuits form part of the collection and no, you can't eat them. Image: Paige Kahn Image: Paige Kahn The five Associated Biscuits factories in Britain were operating at half to two thirds capacity, and the business became loss-making. The Huyton factory was closed with the loss of 770 jobs in 1984, and production was relocated to Aintree, Liverpool. These Lemon Cream Puffs are exactly as light, flaky and airy as seen on the above photo. And the creamy filling is just to die for !The taste was there right in front of me, on the tip of my tongue, if you’ll forgive the awkward pun, but I just couldn’t grasp it. Then, with a great sense of relief, the fog lifted and I remembered what I was ‘tasting’ in my mind – a Jacob’s Lemon Puff biscuit. Well, it’s happened again; I was watching the football last week, after having enjoyed my supper, and all of a sudden, I suddenly became aware of ‘feeling’ a flavour. During the course of its life, the firm's brand name changed from Peek, Frean and Co. to Peek Frean (in the early twentieth century) and then to Peek Freans (by the 1970s, the name having been used in the possessive case on products for many years). Factories were opened in Canada, the United States and Australia in 1949. The Reading factory employed 3,000 people in 1954.

Therefore, after folding in the Curd into the Cream, taste, and if you want more Lemon, add a little Lemon Juice at a time, tasting after each addition, until you are happy. High income tax and death duties persuaded Huntley & Palmers to merge with Peek Frean of Bermondsey, under a holding company called Associated Biscuit Manufacturers (ABM), in 1921. Individual production and marketing strategies were maintained by the two companies. Started by tea importer James Peek in 1857, in a former sugar refinery on Bermondsey's Mill Street, the company soon acquired Peek's nephew-by-marriage George Hender Frean, then brought aboard John Carr (the same Carr of those well-known water biscuits). It’s difficult to explain, but I was immediately hit with all the sensations of eating something – the scents, textures and tastes, just as if I’d actually been chewing. But, like a forgotten face or place-name, I just couldn’t bring the flavour to mind, even though it was terribly familiar. Turn the first pastry piece on to a lightly floured work surface and shape into a rough square. Roll the pastry out in one direction only, to form a long neatish rectangle 12 inches by 4. Fold the ends over, top towards the centre, then bottom piece up and over the first fold, to form a neat square 3 layers high. This represents the first turn.Over the years, some brands have completely disappeared, whereas other products have changed hands or are still around in one form or other. Whether it's a popular chocolate bar with a catchy slogan or a limited edition flavour of crisps, we all have a retro treat we pray will make a reappearance.

The Huntley & Palmers brand was phased out in favour of the Jacob’s name in 1990. It made sense to concentrate resources behind a single brand, and the Jacob’s name was better known, and believed to have a more contemporary image than the Huntley & Palmers brand. Huntley & Palmers products subjected to a re-branding included Romany, Crumbles, Lemon Puffs and Cornish Wafers. Lightly whisk together the egg white, sugar and lemon juice. You don't want it to turn foamy. Using a pastry brush, brush some of this on top of each piece of pastry, then sprinkle each with some of the demerara sugar. Keep a batch in the cookie jar so you always have some on hand. Enjoy them plain or dip them in milk for extra yumminess. They’re also perfect for a cozy afternoon tea or as a sweet treat any time of the day. However you serve them, this buttery biscuit recipe is sure to be a hit! 👩🏽‍🍳 Why This Recipe Works Obviously the delicious cream filling is not supposed to leak out as in the photo, but me showing you these pics actually serve two points I am trying to make. The export trade was slow to rebuild after the First World War: only 25 percent of output was exported in 1924. Meanwhile, domestic sales declined as Huntley & Palmers failed to introduce new products or update existing ones. Marketing was poor, with inadequate advertising, fewer salesman than other firms and no depots outside Reading.

Powdered Sugar:Powdered sugar, also known as confectioners’ sugar, is used as a final touch to dust the cooled lemon biscuits. It adds a touch of sweetness and enhances the appearance of the lemon cream biscuits. By neglecting the commodity category of the biscuit market, ABM’s domestic market share had declined to 15 percent.
