Easter biscuits are a traditional[citation needed] British cuisine gift, given to guests on Easter Sunday.

[1] Originating from the West Country,[2] they are made from flour, butter, egg yolk, baking powder, and sugar.

Some traditional recipes originating from the Somerset-area include Cassia oil, in the belief that it was used in the embalming process used to clean Jesus's body after his crucifixion.

[3] Most often, they are slightly bigger than traditional British biscuits, at up to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.
