Thomas Fudge's Biscuits For Cheese, 300 g

Product Information

Burton’s has bought the business from private equity firm Livingbridge, which acquired it in 2016 from the descendants of founder Thomas J Fudge. Originally a bread bakery, Fudge’s switched its focus to luxury biscuits in the 1980s, and produces Marmite biscuits made under license from Unilever. Mix the eggs and vanilla into the creamed sugar / butter mixture. Add the flour and baking powder and fudge.

Remove them from the oven and leave them to cool on the baking tray. They’ll continue to harder as they cool. The new business will continue to operate under the Ferrero-related company following the acquisition of Burton’s last year and the acquisition of Fox's Biscuits in 2020.

Snip the stalk off the dried fig then cut the fruit into small pieces using the scissors (ask a grown-up to help you). Add to the bowl with the sugar and the fudge pieces.

Biscuits are one of the oldest forms of food, recorded as part of the Roman diet, the word itself originating from the French, bi (twice) cuit (cooked). Being hard wearing and light to carry, biscuits are the perfect travel food. Sue Fudge, her husband Graham Fudge, and her brother in law Steve Fudge (great surname for a biscuit making family) also pioneered the UK ‘flatbread’ biscuit in their kitchen. The whole family are bakers and confectioners, including Steve’s two daughters who have started up their own artisanal biscuit business ‘Percys’. Even their dining room is a former but very large scale oven. Remove any air before sealing the bag and ensure most biscuit pieces are less than ¼ of the biscuit size. Commenting on the merger, Browne said: “ After many years of looking at one another, we are excited about bringing together two businesses that share the same passion for crafting British biscuits with care, quality and innovation.’’ ​Get your kids to add the vanilla. You may need to hold the measuring spoon while your kids pour in the vanilla or vice versa. Older children should be able to do this themselves. Once you have crushed the biscuits, set them aside as we prepare the fudge, then we add them in at the final stages of the recipe. Step by step instructions 5 to 8 Note 2 I developed this recipe with dark chocolate as I feel that we need a balance between the sweetness of the biscuits and the possibly over sweetness of the chocolate. Dark chocolate is much more bitter than milk chocolate, so it provides this balance in a way that milk chocolate would not achieve. These were a big hit in the Traybakes household. The base is sweet and a little crumbly and, funnily enough, a little bit fudgy too. Simon Cowell is responsible for a lot of things, not least rising biscuit sales in the UK. Nobody goes out anymore, people are staying in, watching Saturday night TV together and… this is so British…eating biscuits.
