These biscuits were made for the A-Z baking marathon we did last April. I could not finish the series due to some personal reasons.So here is it now for another baking edition!

Every December, a few of us get together and do a baking edition . We post on Mondays,Wednesdays and Thursdays. The event is called Bake-a-thon spear headed by Srivalli of Cooking for all seasons.

Jackass Corn biscuits is a popular crisp Jamaican biscuit that are easy to prepare and makes use of easily available ingredients.

I was really amused by the name but on reading about it, I came to know that is so named because it is baked tough. So it is stiff and stubborn like a donkey!! [Jackass].

These biscuits are like slightly spiced with a coconut-y flavor ,crisp and delicious.
