- Don’t roll the dough too thin; thick biscuits will hold their shape better during baking.
- Experiment with different colors of icing to make your biscuits as festive as possible.
Variation
Feel free to replace the mixed spice powder with your favorite flavors, such as cocoa powder for chocolate biscuits or citrus zest for a refreshing twist.
