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!

OLD GERMAN HONEY COOKIES



Old German Honey Cookies image

I got this recipe from my grandmother who got it from her grandmother. She had to translate it and then figure out measurements. The original recipe called for "enough flour to make a dough". Thankfully grandma knew what kind of dough.

25 GERMAN COOKIES | RECIPES FROM THE OLD COUNTRY

From cookingchew.com
  • Vanillekipferl – German Vanilla Crescent Cookies. Many German cookies use vanilla sugar which you can make with sugar and a vanilla bean. These also do not use eggs or baking powder but the dough does come together.
  • Spitzbuben – German Christmas Cookies. Spitzbuben are German cookie recipes also commonly called Linzer cookies! Rolling and cutting, baking and cooling, filling with jam (that’s not too sweet) and sugar dusting.
  • German Spice Lebkuchen Cookies. Perhaps the most traditional German cookies are the gingerbread ones! This recipe is a bit different as it is a cross between a spice cake and gingerbread dough.
  • Pfeffernusse Cookies. Another wonderful traditional entry here of types of German cookies, the Pfeffernusse. These use no butter but do have wonderful warm spices of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, black pepper, allspice and ginger!
  • Butterplätzchen – German Christmas Cookies. Gotta love German holiday cookies that have a smaller ingredients list. These buttery cookies are made from four, sugar, butter, egg yolks, vanilla and lemon extract.
