While the world has been getting all excited about cupcakes and macaroons these last few years, the humble biscuit has barely had a look-in. But let’s not forget the simple pleasures of the crunchy teatime treat, which we make particularly well here in Britain. So grab yourself a cuppa, and take a look at Artisan Biscuits, who make their products the traditional way.
Made with skill and care, from quality ingredients – ‘by people, not robots’, Artisan Biscuits are a delight both to eat and to look at. Each range is beautifully packaged, making it an ideal gift, and will appeal to a different sort of biscuit-fan, whether you like the comforting crunch of a childhood favourite or something a little more sophisticated.
Kathryn Bird of Artisan Biscuits says that it’s the uniqueness of the biscuits’ flavour and design that makes them popular with customers, and it’s certainly true that these recipes aren’t used by anyone else. In fact, some have been passed down through the family for centuries: The original Ashbourne gingerbread recipe used in Artisan Biscuits’ signature recipe came into their hands in the early 1800s, and has been passed down from generation to generation ever since.
“We are one of Derbyshire’s wonderful heritage food businesses and will continue tempting everyone with our stylish and extremely delicious products for many years to come”, she promises. Which is great news for anyone looking for an honest, tasty treat from time to time that’s not quite home-made, but is the closest thing you’ll find in any shops!
