Wheaten biscuits from Carr's in a 150 g pack, made with wheat flour, wheatgerm and wheat bran, for cheese boards and light snacks.
Carr's Melts Original Biscuits come in a blue box with the Carr's name and a line reading Carlisle 1831 Cumbria. The ingredients list starts with wheat flour, then vegetable oils (coconut and palm), wheatgerm, wheat bran and sugar. Raising agents are ammonium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate and disodium diphosphate, followed by milk solids, natural flavouring, salt and dried autolysed yeast. Wheatgerm and bran are both on the list, alongside the flour. As general background, a cracker is a flat, dry baked biscuit made with flour, with seasonings added to the dough or sprinkled on top. In a deli, café or hotel kitchen these biscuits suit cheese boards, room-service trays and afternoon snack plates. They pair well with soft cheeses, chutneys, pâtés of fish or vegetables and simple dips. Because the list includes wheat and milk solids, they are not suitable for guests avoiding gluten or dairy.
