The span between breakfast and lunch is tiresome.

And the custard creams and chocolate bourbons you plan to fill it with are just as dull.

But Popina’s homemade biscuits put the humble pink wafer to shame. Handmade with organic ingredients and free-range eggs, they’ve been available only in London’s most distinguished markets and delis for the last year or so — but they’re now online for all.

Choose from such creations as hazelnut macaroons; ginger and chili biscuits; seriously good chocolate brownies; and spinach, garlic and nutmeg crackers. Selection boxes are also on offer. All make perfect presents for friends and hostesses, as well as great fodder for cricket teas, garden parties, weddings, family picnics and, of course, the ever evasive elevenses hour.

May the Jammie Dodger rest in peace.

At least until teatime.
