📖Order your copy of Mrs Crocombe’s cookery book here: http://bit.ly/2RPyrvQ 📖 Mrs Crocombe, the Victorian cook, is going to bake some Queen Drop Biscuits for Lord and Lady Braybrooke in the kitchens of Audley End House. Follow her authentic Victorian recipe and try making a batch of your own biscuits using this classic recipe at home: INGREDIENTS 3 Eggs 225g Butter 225g Sugar 225g Currants 350g Flour 2 tsp Almond Extract METHOD Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit). Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Mix in the sifted flour and one egg at a time. Mix together well and then add your currants and almond extract. Using you hand or a tablespoon, drop equal quantities of the mixture onto a greased baking sheet. Don't put them too close together as the mixture will settle and expand outwards. Bake for about 10 minutes until they are firm to the touch. This recipe makes around 24 drop biscuits.
