Empire Biscuits

Originally known as the Linzer Biscuit, these have become an iconic part of any Scottish teatime. Also popular in Northern Ireland, where they are named German Biscuits, these melt-in-the-mouth shortbread biscuits are traditionally sandwiched with raspberry jam and topped with a thick icing. The most important question is – what do you top yours with? A glacé cherry or a Jelly Tot? For me there is no doubt!
