In Japan where I grew up, no one had oven at home when I was a child. My mother made biscuits by frying in the oil. The ingredients were Egg, Sugar and Flour. She never used Butter. Oven baked biscuits in various shapes were available from sweet shops, but the ingredients were the same. These …

When I want to use up leftover Egg White, I most likely bake ‘Langues de Chat’ Biscuits, but not in the proper way any more. I thinly spread the mixture on a baking tray and make one large biscuit. It’s easy to break it into smaller pieces as the biscuit becomes crispy when cools down. …

I use my old classic ‘Shortbread’ recipe for the biscuits. Many people use red coloured Glacé Cherries for the topping, but I prefer natural coloured ones. This is a perfect treat …

As I expected, …
