We’ve been through our past year’s stats to find out what have been our most popular biscuits and cookies recipes. There’s a mixed bunch in the collection; both British and American recipes get a look in.
A classic recipe brought to us by a classic home cook – Delia Smith. This is the recipe that I use as a starting point for most of my shortbread variations. It’s fair to say that this is probably the most popular of all our biscuits and cookies recipes.
These thins are from a recipe I found in the Guardian; devised by Tamal Ray, a Great British Bake Off alumnus. Quick to bake and best eaten on the day of making – they lose their snap pretty quickly.
I’m not sure of the origin of these biscuits. I think they’re British – but why are they called gypsy creams? These double-decker lovelies are full of oats, chocolate and golden syrup.
This recipe is for biscuits – but not the kind of biscuits that we’re accustomed to over here in the UK. These American biscuits are more closely related to our scones than anything else. Do you pronounce it ‘scons’ or ‘skowns’?
This is the other shortbread recipe in our short-list. Our attempt at Alison Roman’s famous salted butter chocolate chunk shortbread recipe featured in a news round up in 2018, and this post went ballistic!
