Does anyone have a recipe for English biscuits (cookies)?

Asked by Sunny2 (18852points) March 8th, 2011

I’m looking for a recipe for a traditional British biscuit other than short bread. I’m singing in a concert of all British music from Britten to U-Tube. The chorus has been asked to bring appropriate bookies or biscuits to serve the audience at intermission. Most people are bringing shortbread, but I’d like to do something different but equally traditional.

Find a recipe for scones and clotted cream. Try the BBC recipe.

@WestRiverrat Thanks, but it needs to be eaten by hand in a church, no utensils. Would the clotted cream work?

Oops! Typo alert. I mean cookies, not bookies!

I have an Edmonds cookbook. It’s a Kiwi book, but very old school English. I can find you an ANZAC biscuit recipe for sure…. I have dozens of recipes that are very ‘old school’ English. I even have one called Afgans that uses Weetiebix, if you can get those where you are. PM me and I’ll type you out something a bit later today.

Sand Tarts would be a good choice, and they’re easy.

this cook book was the first thing my mum bought me when I moved into my first home!
I’d go for the melting moments they are simple (I made them when I was about 8) and taste yummy :)

recipe.com has some great choices.
Google it and be surprised.
I’d come and bring some tea but i don’t want to fly until things shake out with the airlines and airplane maintenance service improves.
