When you first begin baking biscuits for decorating, whether its with royal icing or fondant, if you don't have the right recipe you will soon realise that some biscuits will come out of the oven looking quite different to when they went in. This is because some biscuits spread. There are thousands of recipes out there for delicious biscuits, but if you want those biscuits to come out of the oven looking exactly the same shape as they did when they went in, you need my no-spread biscuit recipe! I use this recipe for all my festive baking, as well as my gingerbread houses, as the beautiful smell of spices will fill the air for weeks.
