Take note
Be cautious when using the oven and handling hot pans. Be sure to follow all safety instructions and use oven mitts when necessary.

1

Gather the Ingredients

First things first, let's gather all the ingredients we'll need for our Bewitched Birch Biscuits. You'll need 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (softened), 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a dash of black food coloring gel. Don't forget the magic!

2

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Once creamy and well combined, add in the black food coloring gel. Mix until the color is evenly distributed. Now, gradually add in the flour, stirring until a soft dough forms. Keep mixing until it's as smooth as a witch's broomstick!

3

Shape the Biscuits

Now it's time to work your magic with the dough! Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a log shape, about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the logs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten the logs slightly with your hand to give them a birch-like appearance. Remember, witches love trees!

4

Chill and Preheat

Pop the baking sheet with the dough logs into the refrigerator and let them chill for about 30 minutes. While the dough is chilling, preheat your cauldron... uh, I mean oven, to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your biscuits bake up perfectly!

5

Slice and Bake

Once the dough logs have chilled, remove them from the refrigerator. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the biscuit rounds back on the baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Time to cast a spell on them with your oven! Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges.

6

Cool and Decorate

Once your Bewitched Birch Biscuits are out of the oven, let them cool on a wire rack. Once completely cooled, it's time to work your magic with decorations! Use a thin paintbrush and some edible black food coloring to create spooky tree markings on the surface of each biscuit. These bewitching patterns are what make them truly special! Optional: If you really want to take your biscuits to the next level, melt some white chocolate and drizzle it over the biscuits for an eerie fog effect!
