Biscuit Recipes (see also cookie recipes)

Biscuits, Cookies or Biscotti fall into two distinct categories, savoury biscuits or sweet biscuits. But whatever your chosen name or biscuit passion is, just the mention of the word “Biscuit” will probably send a little ripple of excitement down your spine.

The humble biscuit is generally viewed as a little biscuit snack or treat at any time of day. In fact it is difficult to think of a better accompaniment to the traditional British “Cuppa” than a good old Rich Tea biscuit or Digestive biscuit. We British have certainly perfected the art to “Tea and Biscuits”, a tradition to be proud of.

The great British biscuit tends to be plainer than European biscuits. However, the British love for biscuits is undeniable. On Mydish we have literally hundreds of lovely biscuit recipes which demonstrates just how close the humble biscuit is to the harts (and minds) off the British public.

Probably the Britain’s two most popular sweet biscuits are the Rich Tea Biscuit and the Digestive Biscuit, although the Gingerbread Biscuit must be right up there. Almond Biscuits and Chocolate Chip Biscuit are also a firm favourites. If it savory you are after, then it must be the cream cracker biscuit.

Biscuits are great fun to make; there is a huge variety of recipes for biscuits that you can try. They are perfect for children to help with, mixing and rolling out the dough, and cutting into fun shapes with a selection of cookie cutters.
