Big Water Beach is a pseudonym for one of our actual beaches, and excellent Empire Biscuits have been made at the beach bakery for years. However, watch for my website, which will be up an running this summer--2010--for the recipe for the best Empire Biscuits, as made by my Scottish grandmother, Jenny Munro.

Now living in Ottawa found I can get the cookies from the scottish store in Lindsay ontario, exactly the same ones. I was dismayed to find the bakery in winnipeg though.

While I am in Toronto, my vote goes for the best ever Imperial Cookies at the Gimli Bakery. My grandmother often took me there when I was young. I am almost 50 and they are still my favorite no matter where I have travelled. I was looking for a recipe. While I am in Toronto, my vote goes for the best ever Imperial Cookies at the Gimli Bakery.

Happy baking! Dre – the recipe I’ve used a few times is available here:
