German Biscuits

These have always been a classic bakery treat. I know them as German biscuits but many will call them Empire biscuits. They may look simple, but the delicious buttery shortbread biscuit, paired with tart homemade raspberry jam and icing is a true nostalgic hit. If you have a fresh pot of tea to wash these down with, you could easily polish off half a dozen!

Step 1

Sift your flour and cornflour into bowl and pop this into a food processor, blitzing to combine. You can also do this in a bowl using your hands, but it’s handier in a food processor. Gradually add your butter while blitzing, it will start to come together at this point and resemble breadcrumbs. If it sticks to the sides or the bottom of the food processor, use a knife to scrap them down. Pop in your vanilla extract and blitz again to combine. Add your sugar and give it another wee blitz.

These wouldn’t be as short and crisp as our Christmas shortbread Andrea. My shortbread recipe is on the App here 🙌🏼 I plan on doing a few recipes leading up to Christmas as well 🎄
