Scottish Empire Biscuits You will need
Ingredients for the Biscuits • 400g Scottish Unsalted Butter, softened • 200g Caster Sugar • 200g Cornflour, sifted • 400g Plain Flour, sifted For the Candied Cherries • 24 Fresh Cherries, pitted • 180ml Boiling Water
• 340g Specially Selected Scottish Raspberry Preserve
• 950g Icing Sugar • 125ml Scottish Milk
• 100g Caster Sugar • 5ml Lemon Juice
Method First make the cherries. Put the cherries in a large pan or wok with the sugar, lemon juice and boiling water. Gently bring to the boil, stirring as you cook, then simmer on a low heat, uncovered for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally as you cook, as the syrup becomes thick and can burn. Let the cherries cool in the syrup for 20 minutes. Then, with a slotted spoon, remove them and put on some non-stick paper to cool completely. Now make the biscuits. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually stir in the flour and cornflour until well blended. Lightly flour the work surface – roll out the dough to a 5mm thickness. Cut out circles with a 6cm cookie cutter – you need 96. Bake in batches on a non-stick baking sheet for 8-10 minutes. Then allow to cool on baking trays for 5 minutes before moving to wire racks to cool completely. Sandwich a small teaspoon of jam between 2 biscuits. In a medium bowl, mix together the icing sugar and milk to make a spreadable icing. Spread this on top of the biscuit sandwiches. Cut the candied cherries in half and place a half on each biscuit while the icing is still wet.
