In Canada we are celebrating Victoria Day which marks the beginning of our summer holidays. It is named after Queen Victoria. In honour of this past Queens empire here is a recipe for Empire Cookies. Empire Cookies 2, 1/2 Cups flour 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp cream of tartar pinch of salt 2 tablespoons custard powder Blend above ingredients together. ½ cup soft butter ½ cup vegetable shortening 1 egg 3/4 cup white sugar Cream above ingredients together. Add blended flour to creamed ingredients. Dough becomes stiff and should not be sticky. Form 2 large disks. Roll one disk into 1/4 inch thickness and use a circle or crinilated edge circle cookie cutter shape. Place cut shapes onto ungreased cookie sheet about ½ inches apart. . Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. You want the cookie to have a very light golden appearance almost white. Let cool. Sandwich two cookies together with thin layer of raspberry jam. Approximately ½ teaspoon of jam depending on your cookie circle size. Prepare an icing sugar glaze. Coat top cookie and place a gold or silver ball in the cookie center. Let icing harden before storing in sealed container and place in fridge. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
