About Empire biscuit

An Empire Biscuit is a classic Scottish treat made by sandwiching two shortbread-like cookies together with raspberry jam and topping them with a glossy white icing and a decorative cherry. Known for its rich, buttery flavor and crumbly texture, the biscuit is popular in Scottish baking and has become a nostalgic favorite. While delicious, Empire Biscuits are indulgent, primarily containing ingredients like butter, sugar, and white flour, which contribute to its high-calorie and high-fat profile. The jam provides a small amount of fruit but is typically sweetened, offering limited nutritional benefit. As a dessert, Empire Biscuits are best enjoyed in moderation. For those seeking healthier alternatives, recipes may adjust sugar levels or incorporate whole-grain flours for added fiber. With its cultural significance and rich taste, this biscuit remains a beloved part of Scottish culinary tradition.
