Border Biscuits have launched a great new competition, I know from the entries into the Amoy recipe challenge I have running now and comments on my recipes, there are a few of you out there who could snatch the prize!
Your biscuit made by Border Biscuits, on sale in Tesco, £2000 and a place on a baking course!
Read below for details.
Border Biscuits sent me some of their range to try, I love the packaging,each one has a plastic lid,the boxes protect the biscuit well, no first and last biscuit crush here.
I cannot fault a single biscuit,the crunch of each variety is amazing,the soft crumbly melt in your mouth texture is just perfect with a fresh cup of tea. No dunking for me,the biscuits are just too good to do that to.
The strawberry and cream shortbread taste home baked, they melt on the tongue and are so buttery,creamy, happily I found them not too sweet,the pieces of strawberry gave the sweet I needed, these would be perfect for a picnic or summer high tea, if we ever get one!
The Dark Chocolate Ginger biscuits were a real surprise, the ginger is hot and a real spicy taste, the crunch is perfect and I was glad to find these biscuits are not hard like a lot of ginger biscuits, they are light and melt in the mouth,almost syrupy. The dark chocolate cracks as well,it has a smooth rich taste and complements the fire of the ginger!
The Raspberry, White Chocolate and Pistachio are again light, really packed with the taste of fruit, creamy chocolate and pistachios. They did not last long here.
Finally a lovely selection of favourite biscuits,not keen on the title...'Made For Sharing!!' it sort of gives the family ideas that they can have some!!
Seriously this is a lovely box of biscuits the aroma of toffee apple is fantastic, they taste even better. The Butterscotch crunch are lovely and my favourite biscuit ever Viennese Whirls,more Strawberry and Cream shortbread make this a perfect box forme sharing!

BORDER BISCUITS LAUNCHES BIG BAKING BONANZA
Search for the nation’s best biscuit recipe
Lanark based Border Biscuits has joined forces with Great British Bake Off finalist James Morton and leading supermarket Tesco, to launch a nationwide search for the best biscuit recipe in Britain.
The Big Baking Bonanza is open to amateur bakers and the winning recipe will be created by the skilled team at Border Biscuits and turned into a limited edition new product, which will go on sale in Tesco. The winner will also get £2,000 and a place on a fantastic baking course.*
According to research, forty-one million Brits or 79 per cent of adults say they enjoy baking at home, and 22 per cent of home bakers claim to be baking more now compared to a year ago.** Due to this huge popularity in home baking, Border Biscuits is hoping to find a talented new biscuit maker with a creative recipe to join the award winning range.
Baking expert, James Morton said: “If you’re a lover of home baking and like to experiment with delicious ingredients, textures and tastes, then this could be your chance to show off your skills. We’re searching for the best innovative, creative and delicious biscuit recipe to join the Border Biscuits family.”
Well known for wearing his favourite Fair Isle tank tops, James’ love of baking started at an early age, when he was growing up in Shetland and he was inspired by his gran. He said: “I used to go round to her house every night after school and we’d get baking. She taught me all of the classics from Victoria sponges to apple pies and lemon meringue pies and that’s where my love of baking really started.”
Budding bakers can enter the Big Baking Bonanza by submitting their recipe online at www.borderbiscuits.co.uk/
Ashley Connolly, local buying manager at Tesco, Scotland said: “This is a really exciting opportunity for us to find an innovative new recipe to go on sale in Tesco. We’re looking forward to judging and tasting the winning recipe and hope to find something delicious that our customers will love.”
Border Biscuits is renowned for using high quality ingredients, delicious flavour combinations and baking the nation’s favourite Dark Chocolate Gingers.
Louise Creevy, national account manager at Border Biscuits said: “Perfecting our recipes is something that we take very seriously at Border Biscuits and we only put ourbiscuits on the shelves when we genuinely think that we can’t improve on them. There are some extremely talented home bakers out there and we’re hoping to find the next delicious and creative recipe to join our 32 other varieties.”
