Today for the alphabet E , we will travel to the united kingdom to bake and taste these royal looking biscuits.An Empire biscuit is a sweet biscuit popular in the United Kingdom , Scotland. The biscuit was originally known as Linzer biscuit and after world war 2 , it was renamed to Empire biscuit. It is also called as the Double biscuit, German biscuit, Belgian biscuit etc.It has two layers of biscuits sandwiched with a layer of jam and topped with white water icing and a glazed cherry. Though it sounds very elaborate, it is pretty easy to make these delicious biscuits.Since the day this theme was announced, I have been bookmarking the recipes that I need to bake and these biscuits are from londoneats

Linzercookies is in my to bake list for a long time. I even bought the Linzer cookie cutter (a year back) and still have not baked them. Now that I have a fool proof recipe to make, I will make them soon. Maybe even for this marathon. My L is yet to be baked 🙂
