Malted milk (biscuit)

The malted milk is a type of biscuit, first produced by Elkes Biscuits of Uttoxeter (now owned by Fox's Biscuits) in 1924.[1] They are named after their malt flavouring and milk content.
The design used varies according to the manufacturer, with variants including two milk churns and a cow, a cow and a gate or a cow and a calf. They are typically baked for a short period of time (about 5 minutes) at high temperature to keep them crisp without the use of holes unlike other biscuits such as shortbread.[2]
Variations of the biscuit include a chocolate covered single biscuit, as well as a custard cream like variety where two biscuits sandwich a vanilla-based cream.[3]
