Cheats Scottish Empire biscuits
Typically Empire biscuits have one sugar-coated jelly sweet in the middle, but I put on the little silver pearls to make them more exciting for my kids! No baking is involved, so they are incredibly easy to make!

- Place at least half a teaspoon of jam onto 12 of the biscuits and spread it evenly.
- Top each jam-topped biscuit with the remaining biscuits.
- Make up the icing according to packet instructions, but you want it to be relatively thick to coat the biscuits.
- Ice the biscuits, then top with the silver balls. Leave to dry for about 30 minutes.

We used to make these with Royal Scot biscuits - which were more like the texture of the original German or Empire biscuits. Unfortunately Royal Scot are no linger available. Abernethy would work too. - 07 Nov 2016
