10 CLASSIC BRITISH BISCUITS TO PAIR WITH TEA - INSANELY GOOD

5/5 (2)Published 2021-11-29Category Cookies, Desserts, Recipe Roundup
- Scottish Shortbread. Shortbread is quintessentially Scottish, and they’re very proud of it. I don’t blame them! I think it’s about as perfect as a biscuit gets.
- Classic British Bourbons. Despite the name, there’s no alcohol in these biscuits. Instead, they get their name from where they were invented and the hometown of the inventor, Bourneville, and Bonn respectively.
- British Hobnob Biscuits. If you’ve ever made British flapjacks or maybe Aussie Anzac biscuits, you’ll know that a lot of their baking includes golden syrup.
- Homemade Jaffa Cakes. Believe it or not, there’s been a lot of controversy around the classification of this 1920s creation. Named for the jaffa orange, these consist of a round vanilla cake disc topped with a circle of orange jelly, and then it’s all topped off with a layer of dark chocolate.
- Homemade Party Rings. Party rings are so comfortingly British, and just the thought of them will leave you with serious nostalgia. They’re pretty simple when you pick them apart, but it’s more about how and when kids ate them.
- Black Currant Tea Biscuits. Black currants are super popular in the UK, with one of their most popular drinks, Ribena, being made from these juicy berries.
- Empire Biscuits. Due to the similarities between these and Linzer cookies, they were once known as the Deutsch (German) Biscuit. When WWI started, however, the name was quickly changed to Empire.
- Buttery Sultana Cookies. Sultanas are essentially raisins; only they’re exclusively made from seedless green grapes. They’re most often used in British baking, along with golden raisins.
- Homemade Malted Milk Biscuits Recipe. Malted milk is a unique blend of malted barley, wheat flour, and evaporated whole milk powder. It’s hard to describe the flavor, but you’ll know it as soon as you try it.
- Cornish Fairings. Cornish fairings are a type of spiced ginger biscuits from, as you’ve probably guessed, Cornwall. The name comes from the idea of a “fairing,” which was a treat given to a loved one in farewell.
