Fairytale-themed Biscuit Recipes
Here are 6 wonderful fairytale-themed biscuit recipes to enjoy baking with kids.
Baking can involve children of all ages. Little children may just enjoy rolling out biscuit dough or decorating cooked biscuits with icing.
Older children can learn to follow a recipe, weigh and measure the ingredients and see baking as an exciting science experiment!
My children loved timing things in the oven so we bought a timer which they could set and be in charge of.
I’ve tried and tested these fairytale-themed biscuit recipes on my family and we enjoyed them all so hope you do too.
Happy baking!
