Viennese Whirls are a British confection consisting of soft butter biscuits piped into a whirl shape, said to be inspired by Austrian pastries, though entirely unrelated.
The most common UK version was popularised by Mr Kipling, consisting of a two biscuits sandwiched with buttercream and jam. [1] In this sense they resemble the older Empire biscuit.
Other varieties have a single layer with chocolate piping. [2]
