Thank you!! I would have taken these to Christmas supper (with my Scottish sister-in-law in attendance) and really looked the fool! Your description of the empire biscuit made me want one right this very second. I can’t wait to make the real deal.

People don’t get true culture if it’s altered ! Biscuit /scone are the same texture but taste different but there is no mistake we call a cookie a biscuit no debate! I make traditional food all day everyday and that’s not haggis, we have healthy and hearty foods. I can send you true Scottish recipes that have been passed down through generations

Hi Catherine! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I am sorry that you are not happy with my recipe choices, however I did leave a disclaimer that my recipes were not intended to be 100% authentic – they are instead intended to to be gateways for children and families to experience and learn about new food cultures other than their own. The biscuit/cookie/scone debate is a such a big one across our ocean, and I choose to do something that was representative of what was shown in the movie, because children would be excited to try those. I try to do a lot of research on recipes from different time periods and recipe development to make sure I can get things right, but ultimately I have to choose what works best for my readers and their families. I will make a note on the post that a more traditional choice more closely resembles a cookie. Thanks again for your comment!

A little bit of research and you may have made these two products accurately! Sausage rolls I make daily in my shop with puff pastry and Pork sausage with coriander, all spice s&p. Empire biscuits are not the same as an American biscuits. Biscuits in Scotland are cookies so the empire biscuits should be the consistency of a sugar cookie or shortbread with raspberry jam spread between two topped with icing with a cherry or a dolly mixture gum . This infuriates me that simply googling on a Scottish website you could have made them properly not half arse guess!!
