In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until crumbly.

Add your creative twist

Now it's time to add your unique twist to the Queen's Lace Biscuits! Get creative and choose one or more of the following options: - For a chocolaty twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the baked biscuits. Use dark, milk, or white chocolate, or even a combination for extra indulgence. - For a fruity burst, incorporate dried cranberries, diced apricots, or blueberries into the batter before baking. These bursts of flavor will pleasantly surprise your taste buds. - For a nutty addition, sprinkle finely chopped nuts, such as almonds or pistachios, on top of the biscuits before they go in the oven. The added crunch and flavor will take these biscuits to another level!

Shape and bake the biscuits

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit. Gently shape the dough into circular or oval shapes using your fingers or the back of a spoon. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to avoid over-baking!

Indulge and enjoy!

Once baked, allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. The hard part is not devouring them all at once, but try to exercise a little self-control. Serve these scrumptious Queen's Lace Biscuits with your favorite cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy the unique flavors and textures you've added to this classic treat!
