Today we make beautiful white star biscuits, they are lovely for Advent and also for Christmas. The biscuits taste extra delicious because, besides vanilla, we mix in honey. If you make the biscuits for Christmas you can prick a hole in the stars before baking. Then you can hang them in the Christmas tree on a ribbon, which also looks beautiful!
