Recipe: Tasty Iced Biscuits

Iced Biscuits. Using biscuit cutters, cut biscuits out of the dough and carefully place onto the baking tray. Ice the biscuits using the pens to make stripes or dots, or colour in the whole biscuit if you like. They will keep for five days in an airtight container. Pipe enough runnier icing to cover the entire biscuit - don't worry about it being neat at this point. Use a toothpick to spread the icing evenly inside the hard icing 'wall'.

If the surface of the icing isn't flat, gently shake the biscuit back and forth until you have a smooth covering. As we make all our biscuits by hand to your specific requirement they can be iced to fit in with your theme or date and be personalised with guests names to be used as place settings.

Please Note: Royal Mail are experiencing some delays. Here at Biscuiteers, we like to think we know a thing or two about biscuits. For us, biscuits are more than something you dunk in your tea, they are works of art carefully hand-iced to perfection. Our biscuits come in all shapes and sizes. They could be a pair of fabulous shoes or a bouquet of flowers - they could even spell out the word thank you.
