Prince of Wales Biscuits

The original version of this confection, popular in the Regency period of the early 1800s, was a sturdy, unsweetened biscuit (aka cookie) stamped with the traditional feather emblem of the Prince. Made by commercial bakers, it was served after dinner for dunking into sweet wine. This newer, softer version is lightly sweetened and makes a delicious addition to the teatime plate. The Prince would give you permission to forgo his feathers and use any decorative stamp you like.
