Fursecuri Empire cu zmeura

Mi s-a pus pata pe aceste fursecuri de foarte mult timp si iata ca in sfarsit m-am mobilizat si le-am facut. Ma amuza putin faptul ca acum cateva luni fursecurile erau mereu ultimele pe lista mea, insa in ultimul timp am postat destul de multe retete de fursecuri. Ce sa zic, e bine sa ai ce rontai cand ai pofta de ceva dulce. Adevarul e ca ultimele luni au fost un amestec de suisuri si coborasuri si entremet-urile au cazut pe un loc secund, orientandu-ma spre deserturi care nu iau zile intregi de pregatire. Pentru ceva timp am simtit inclusiv ca imi lipseste inspiratia, sentiment care nu e tocmai placut pentru o persoana atat de creativa ca mine. Dar sunt aici, alive and kicking.. and baking.. si am multe retete planificate, asa ca stati aproape.

Avand origini scotiene, aceste fursecuri sunt lipite intre ele cu gem de zmeura, apoi acoperite cu o glazura simpla de zahar pudra si zeama de lamaie pe care mi-am luat libertatea sa o imbogatesc cu putin unt topit. O data glazurate, fursecurile sunt decorate cu o jumatate de cireasa confiata. Au fost o revelatie pentru mine, nu ma asteptam sa fie atat de gustoase, sa se topeasca efectiv in gura. Gustand din aceste fursecuri mi-am adus aminte cat de norocoasa sunt ca am o astfel de pasiune, cat de norocoasa sunt ca pot face asa ceva si ca pot sa si gust din ceea ce fac, ce sentiment placut cand ii vezi pe ceilalti bucurandu-se de deserturile tale si cata fericire imi aduce gatitul si prajituritul. E una dintre minunile vietii mele dupa fiul meu si sunt extrem de recunoscatoare pentru aceste cadouri pe care viata si Cel de Sus mi le fac. Ce vreau eu sa spun, oricat de clisei ar suna, e urmatorul lucru: faceti ceea ce va place, pasiunile sunt cele care ne ofera provocarile cele mai mari si mai importante, acele provocari care ne ajuta sa crestem si tot ele sunt cele care ne aduc si cele mai mari satisfactii!

• Incorporati faina, amidonul si un praf de sare si framantati cat de putin aluatul, doar cat sa-i dati forma unei bile. Infasurati in folie alimentara si dati la frigider 30 minute.
• Transferati aluatul pe masa de lucru infainata si intindeti o foaie dubtire de aproximativ 3mm grosime. Taiati fursecuri cu un cutter rotund si asezati fiecare fursec pe o tava de copt tapetata cu hartie de copt.

Glazura:

• Amestecati untul topit, zeama de lamaie si zaharul pudra intr-un bol. Adaugati zahar in plus daca glazura e prea lichida, sau zeama de lamaie daca e prea groasa. Consistenta ideala e curgatoare, dar nu extrem de lichida.

ENGLISH

Empire Biscuits, also known as Imperial Biscuits, German Biscuits or Double Shortbread, are sandwich cookies popular in UK, particularly Scotland. It is very similar to a linzer cookie, being formed by sandwiching 2 shortbread cookies together with raspberry jam. Nothing out of the ordinary till here, but then the cookie is glazed with a simple sugar glaze and decorated with half of glace cherry and that brings these cookies out of anonymity. Honestly, these biscuits shook my world the other day when I made them. I wasn’t expecting them to be this delicious, I thought they would turn out good, but nothing special and they blew me away.

And when I took the first bite I had a revelation – these tender, fragrant, sweet and tangy cookies are perfect and taste better than any store bought cookie you might ever have! The shortbread dough is easy to make and an absolute joy to work with, but the surprise comes when you bake it – it’s tender and melts in your mouth with every bite, leaving a rich, buttery taste behind. The cookies are filled with seedless raspberry jam and then topped with a tangy, delicate powdered sugar glaze which I chose to thicken with a touch of melted butter. And their taste made me remember what a lucky girl I am to have found a passion as strong as baking, how fortunate I am to be doing what I love and how happy this makes me.
