Biscuits: Doily Biscuits

Paper doilies appeared many, many years ago as a cheaper alternative to the crocheted linen used by the aristocracy as far back as the 17th century. By the 1950s, they had become a symbol of upward mobility; no afternoon tea with the vicar would be complete without them! With our current interest in all things retro, they have found a resurgence. These are fun to make; use the tiniest cutters you can find.
