I love everything with almonds and although these biscuits don’t have almonds it has an almond flavor which makes it just as delicious.
Mock Royal Cream Biscuit
I have a very basic biscuit recipe that I use for almost all my biscuits. It doesn’t require too much sugar, just the way we like it. I cannot handle stuff that’s overly sweet. It literally makes me sick and I really don’t enjoy them.
What Ingredients do I require?
Butter (not margarine), icing sugar, almond essence, cornflour, cake wheat or all purpose flour
No-Fuss Recipe
This Mock Royal Cream Biscuit recipe doesn’t require loads of beating and yet you have a beautiful soft and pliable dough. The dough is so easy to work with and these cookies are really fun to make
Flavouring the Biscuits
Please remember every brand in terms of the flavoring is different. Some are subtle and others are stronger. I found that I needed 2 teaspoons of almond essence for these biscuits, however depending on the brand you are using you may require more or less. You will have to use your discretion here and see what works for you.
The buttercream icing must be beaten until light and creamy. It will be pale in colour. You can adjust the amount of almond essence for the buttercream icing depending on how much almond flavor you prefer. Now for the fun part. Everyone uses a fork to get the lines on these famous Mock Royal Cream Biscuit right. So do I. The only difference is that I make my lines before cutting the cookies. You need to roll out the dough. Take a fork and run it all the way, from top to bottom. Repeat this process until the dough is covered with lines. I have made a little video to help you with this process. The cookies can then be cut with a square cutter. You will have perfect lines and perfecty neat cookies. Refrigerating the dough Most people refrigerate the cookie dough before cutting the shapes. I prefer doing it the other way around. I cut my shapes, refrigerate for 30 minutes and then bake them. This works for me and stops the cookies from spreading when baked.
