Scottish Lace Biscuits is a traditional Scottish recipe for a classic biscuit (cookie) made from a butter, sugar, egg and oat batter flavoured with almond essence that's dropped onto a baking tray and baked until cooked through and golden. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic Scottish version of: Scottish Lace Biscuits.
Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl. Beat the eggs together in a separate bowl and add to the creamed butter a little at a time, incorporating well after each addition. Once the eggs are combined add the almond extract then gradually add the oats and salt.
Drop the dough by the heaped tablespoon about 5cm apart on a well-greased baking tray. Flatten the biscuits with the base of a glass or a jar dipped in flour. Place in an oven pre-heated to 160°C (320°F/Gas Mark 3) and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the biscuits are a golden colour.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the baking tray then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
