May 29th is World Biscuit Day.
I have no idea why and I really can’t find any interesting Australian information on World Biscuit Day, but hey, who care because biscuits are the bizness, right?
Who really needs an excuse to bake a batch of home-made cookies or buy a packet of their favourite sweet, crumbly biscuits?
No one.
So this all leaves me with one important question.
What is your favourite biscuit?
I am a plan shortbread girl myself and I kind of have a soft spot for the ones that come direct from Scotland because they taste like heather and loch ness monster and they taste better, right?
Weirdly, I am not a fan of the Tim Tam though and I am sorry all of Australia.
While you ponder the very important question as to what is your favourite biscuit, let me share some of my favourite biscuit recipes.
- Cheese biscuits. Traditional, easy to make savoury style biscuit with a touch of cayenne.
- Chocolate chip cookies. Gooey, chocolatey biscuit held together with gooey chocolate.
- Opa’s butter biscuits Simple and traditional butter sugar biscuit with a touch of lemon essence.
- Orange and Vanilla Nut Biscuits. So quick to make and full of nuts and orange.
Saving the best to last.
- Filled Speculaas. My families recipe, this is a cross between a cake and a speculaas biscuit and it is full of a kind of homemade marzipan. It is everything.
So, enjoy World Biscuit Day friends.
Maybe share a packet with someone or fill your desk drawer with your favourite brand to enjoy all by yourself.
Or even better, live your best life by biscuit bombing your friends and colleagues tomorrow by leaving a packet of sugary goodness on their desks.
The world will thank you.
