You can't very well have tea without biscuits can you?
Allow me to suggest some good Scotch shortbread. Here is a recipe that is prepared for Her Majesty's daily tea. If it is good enough for the Queen, it is good enough for your Emma.
Good Luck old chap!

Buckingham Palace Shortbread
This is the recipe used to make shortbread for the Queen’s tea every day. It has been used at Buckingham Palace for many years. A former chef there is now a chef at a hotel in Toronto, and he has released this recipe to the public.
2 cups Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
4 cups pastry flour
1 1/3 cups Cornstarch
Superfine Sugar for sprinkling
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Use the electric mixer with this recipe as log as the beaters will turn. It will make them very light. In a medium bowl, stir the flour and cornstarch together. Gently mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture until it forms a soft dough. You can usually do this with a hand mixer until there is about ? cup of the flour mixture left, then you will have to stir that in or work it in with your fingers. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate about 15 minutes, or until firm. Preheat the oven to 325*F, GasMark 3 or 170C.
Dust the dough lightly with flour and roll int out to a 3/4 -inch thick square on a sheet of parchment paper. Transfer the parchment paper and dough to a baking sheet. Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from oven and sprinkle generously with superfine sugar. While still warm, use a paring knife to cut the shortbread into 48 pieces.
(Note - If you don’t have superfine sugar on hand, you can put some regular sugar in a blender and pulse it a few times to grind it finer. LMH)

Are you serious? Better keep it to tea or coffee & nice pastries until you get to know her better. You might scare her off with burley water & corned beef samwiches.
