Scottish Empire Biscuits

I have made these several times for my workmates and they LOVE them, so many people say they are the best empire biscuits they have ever tasted. Does anybody know if the biscuits are freezable?

I have made these over and over again, they are just brilliant I've made some with a caramel filling too as an alternative to jam, they were delicious ...

First time I made them they were perfect, used full recipe quantities, son couldn't get enough. Melt in the mouth. Second time however I made them too thin so slightly burnt, but still tasty!

very disappointed. Far too much icing. Biscuits were not crispy enough.

I had a go at making these for the family. The receipe is easy to follow and as long as you leave space between each biscuit then there should be no problems. I added a large tablespoon of custard powder to the ingredients, as this is recommended in an old receipe of my mothers. End result was great. The boys and their dad fought over how many each was having, making me promise to make them again soon. Well worth giving them a try.

Attempted these biscuits today. Halved the ingredients and followed the instructions. Unfortunately the biscuits spread in the tin to form a sea of biscuit. I was so disappointed because I had spent ages cutting different shapes with the cutters. total disaster.

I made Empire Biscuits many moons ago and couldn't find the original recipe. I tried this one. I halved the quantity. Recipe is very easy to use. The biscuits are flavoursome, but not the texture I remembered. However, if I'd gone into someone's home, and the hostess said she'd baked them, I'd have told her they were delicious ... and they were for us. xx
