A much-loved biscuit in South Africa since 1911, Tennis Biscuits are everyone’s favourite coconut biscuit. Made with real butter, real coconut, and real syrup. Perfect for use in recipes, or great all by themselves. 

How Tennis got its name? In 1911, the original Bakers man found a beautifully engraved biscuit cutter in the Baker's factory and realized what a delightful biscuit it would make. So he rolled up his sleeves and started baking in an effort to find the perfect biscuit for this beautiful cutter and the pattern reminded him of an old tennis racket design. He finally produced this masterpiece of delicious coconut, syrup and butter that we all know and love as the Tennis biscuit. Over the years, the recipe has remained unchanged. The Bakers Tennis biscuit pattern and the crisp, golden, coconut-rich recipe is unique to South Africa and to Bakers.

Tennis Biscuits are one of the most versatile biscuits because you can use them in so many different dessert recipes. You can crush them up and mix it with melted butter to form the base for a cheese cake or any fridge tart. Or you can use them as layers in a tart. Or just enjoy them as is.
