Praline Biscuits
This is another straightforward recipe for a slightly crunchy, slightly chewy, nutty biscuit. Praline Biscuits. And yet another recipe that Little Miss Traybakes (and her braces) can’t taste-test for me, as they contain nuts. I suppose I could have tried…
Orange Almond Biscuits
Sometimes you just want a simple biscuit recipe that’s quick to pull together, doesn’t need to be chilled, and stays crisp and delicious for days (if you let them last that long). And these Orange Almond Biscuits tick all the…
Chocolate Orange Sandwich Biscuits
Chocolate and orange is one of those classic flavor combinations and not one that I have featured often on the blog (apart from this Chocolate Orange Slice). I also have a few other biscuit recipes, including the classic Traditional All-Butter…

Brown Sugar Shortbread
I typically make shortbread with white sugar, but in the midst of our time at home, I have thrown caution to the wind and went with this recipe for Brown Sugar Shortbread. And, it turns out, brown sugar adds a…
