INGREDIENTS & RECIPES

At Border Biscuits we are passionate about making great tasting biscuits and we have a clear and simple philosophy which is quite simply to make extremely delicious biscuits, infact judging from the feedback we receive from our customers it would not be to 'inappropriate' to sing our own praises. We start with the selection of ingredients which have to be the very best and we mean the very best and like every other aspect of our business we won't compromise. Fresh butter, demerara sugar, glace cherries, butterscotch, fresh almonds and rich chocolate, are some of those ingredients and no flavours come out of a bottle (except vanilla and it is 100% natural) or are derived from chemical or artificial means. "Good biscuits deserve a good recipe" and we at Border have plenty of these some going back generations and others being fairly new creations.

"So it's simple use the 'best quality' ingredients in a 'good recipe' to produce great biscuits!!!!


Well not quite:-

PRODUCTION METHOD

Recipe Ingredients are mixed in batches in traditional mixers that cream up the mix and then gently develop into dough. There are much faster modern mixers which do a quicker job, but our type of mixers are the same as used at the turn of the century.

The dough is then formed into various types of biscuit shapes by cutting, moulding or piping. We use traditional baking trays in our process which are placed into batch rack ovens which is one of the most crucial areas in the process. Our biscuits are baked slowly, twice as long as those that are mass produced in traveling ovens………. but then……… 'waiting for the best things in life requires patience'.

OUR DEDICATED PEOPLE

The final ingredients and the most important is our skilled local people, many of whom have worked for us for twenty years and include generations of families. Following in the Scottish tradition of unhurried home baking, they create our delicious unmistakable Border Biscuits.
