Categories     Sweet Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

300g Plain flour (2 cups)
200g Salted Butter ( 1 cup)
100g Caster Sugar (1/2 cup)
Large Egg
Raspberry Jam (we like MacKays)
180g Icing Sugar (Confectioners Sugar) (1.5 cups)
Glace/Candied Cherries for decorating

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 Celcius or 400 Fahrenheit, or 180C/350F for a fan oven.
  • Start by beating the butter until it is softened just creamy, but not too fluffed up or airy. Then add the sugar and mix until just combined. You want the sugar to dissolve into the butter to a caster or fine sugar is best.
  • Next, add the flour along with a beaten egg and mix carefully until the dough begins to form clumps. At this point, you can get your hands into it and bring the dough together.
  • Tip onto a lightly floured surface and roll the dough out until it's around 5mm or about a 1/4 inch in thickness.
  • You can use a cookie cutter like this one, or the rim of a glass to cut the dough into separate biscuits.Use a spatula or a pastry/dough scraper to move the biscuits onto the baking tray, lined with baking paper or a reusable liner.
  • If you have time, chill for about 20 minutes in the fridge to help stop spreading.
  • Bake for approximately 20 minutes. The biscuits will stay soft but will start to town slightly and that's when they're ready. Take them out of the oven and allow to cool.
  • Match the biscuits into pairs. Spread jam over the top of the biscuit that will be the base, and press the biscuit for the top gently down onto it.
  • Mix the icing/confectioners sugar with just enough milk or water to form a thick but runny consistency. We start with a couple of tablespoons and then slowly add more until it's ready. You can either spread the icing with a teaspoon/knife or use the dipping method. If you're using a spoon or knife then start with a small amount in the middle of the biscuit and slowly spread it out, leaving a gap before the edge of the biscuit in case of extra spread. Otherwise, dip the biscuit top side down into the icing to coat it, allow any excess to drip off, and then quickly flip over and pit back on a tray to allow it to harden. You want to try and avoid the icing running down the sides of the biscuit.
  • Place half a glace/candied cherry in the centre of the biscuit. Allow the icing to harden and then eat!

EMPIRE BISCUITS



Empire biscuits image

Make a batch of these easy empire biscuits and enjoy with a cuppa. Sandwich with raspberry jam and top with thick icing and a glacé cherry to finish

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 47m

Yield Makes 12-14 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

175g plain flour , plus extra for dusting
100g cold salted butter , cut into cubes
335g icing sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 medium egg yolks
100g raspberry jam
50g glacé cherries , quartered

Steps:

  • Put the flour, butter, 85g of the icing sugar, the vanilla and egg yolks in a food processor and pulse in bursts until combined (alternatively, rub together the butter and flour with your fingertips and mix in the sugar, vanilla and egg yolks). Add ½ tbsp water if the mix feels a little dry. Tip the rough mixture onto a work surface and briefly knead until the dough has come together. Wrap and chill for 30 mins.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll the dough out to around 3mm thick. Cut 24 rounds from the dough with a 7cm cutter. Bring the remaining scraps of pastry together and reroll to make more biscuits. Line up the discs of dough on the baking sheets, then bake for 10-12 mins or until lightly golden brown around the edges. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
  • Mix the remaining icing sugar with 2-3 tsp of water to make a very thick icing. Spoon or pipe the icing over the top of half of the biscuits, leaving a border around the edge of each one. Top with a small piece of glacé cherry in the centre, then leave to set for 30 mins. Spread the jam over the un-iced biscuits and sandwich together with the iced halves. Will keep for two days in an airtight tin.

EMPIRE BISCUITS



Empire Biscuits image

Provided by Baking with Granny

Number Of Ingredients 8

130 g Caster Sugar
250 g Butter
1 Egg
500 g Plain Flour
Strawberry or Raspberry Jam
200 g Icing Sugar
Few teaspoons of boling water
Glace Cherries/Gummy Sweeties/Icing Shapes

Steps:

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180°c (or 160°c for a fan assisted oven) and line a couple of baking trays with greaseproof paper.
  • Cream your butter & sugar on a medium speed until light & fluffy.
  • Add the egg and mix until combined then sift in the flour and mix to form a dough.
  • Roll the dough on a floured surface to around 1cm thick. Using a round cutter, cut your biscuits & transfer to your baking tray.
  • Bake for around 10 minutes until the edges of the biscuit are just golden.
  • When still warm but cool enough to touch, add the jam to the under side of half your biscuits and pop the other half on top of these to sandwich together.
  • When completely cool, make your icing by mixing icing sugar & gradually adding the boiling water until you're happy with the consistency - "gloopy" is a great way to describe it! Gently dip the top of your biscuits into the icing to cover and top with your decoration of choice!

EMPIRE BISCUITS



Empire Biscuits image

These are a must for any christmas cookie tray in my family. A sweet, flavourful sandwich cookie that you can decorate any way you like. I like to use a teeny tiny cookie cutter to make bite-sized cookies, but I believe that they are traditionally made with slightly larger rounds.
