Sara's Lancashire Tosset Biscuit Bars
Traditional British Tosset biscuits are regional specialty biscuits originating from Lancashire in Northern England. They're characterized by a shortbread-like texture - buttery, crumbly, and crisp - similar to Scottish shortbread but with their own distinct regional identity. The name "tosset" may derive from local dialect. These simple, honest biscuits represent Northern English baking traditions, often made with basic pantry ingredients: flour, butter, sugar, and sometimes egg. They can be enjoyed plain or dressed up with fillings and toppings. Tosset biscuits embody the unpretentious, comforting style of traditional British home baking - not overly sweet or fancy, but satisfying and wholesome. They're perfect for afternoon tea, dunking in tea or coffee, and showcasing quality butter flavor.
Paul Hollywood: "I am really impressed with the fact that they look almost identical. "
Prue Leith: "The biscuit is nice and crumbly and crisp and the chocolate and orange ganache is delicious."
Paul Hollywood: "This is a great flavour combination."
Paul Hollywood gave Sara Cox the famous Hollywook handshake for these Tosset biscuits.
