I've only had British tea biscuits once. They're like our shortbread cookies only excessively flat. And I don't think I've ever seen them for sale in the US. Anyhoo, the day after Prince William's wedding, the local paper ran an article about the cake he requested for the wedding. It's called a biscuit cake, and they provided the recipe.
I actually tried it yesterday. Kind of. We don't have British tea biscuits here, and the only dark chocolate I had on hand (which I thought was dark chocolate so didn't buy any at the store) was actually Baker's unsweetened chocolate. So combined my chocolate with some semi-sweet morsels. After all, dark chocolate simply tastes like barely sweetened cocoa. So needless to say, my version wasn't exactly what the recipe called for. Nevertheless, it's okay. Perhaps if I had the proper ingredients it might taste a whole lot better, but I seriously doubt I'll try it again. After watching this video, (which uses a different pan and the parchment in a much easier way), I decided to post it instead of the News & Observer's article. http://blogmyway.org/videos/2011/05/03/royal-chocolate-biscuit-cake/
But I branched out and tried out, despite its outcome. Kudos for that! :)
