Honey "Tree Bark" BiscuitsRoland Bello

The trees of Hansel and Gretel's forest surely had bark like this, sparkling with sugar crystals and tasting of sylvan honey. Though the biscuits pair wonderfully with blueberries in gin syrup, they also make an excellent accompaniment to a cheese course—particularly with a nice triple-crème.

>Cooks' note:

Biscuits improve in flavor if baked 3 days ahead and will keep in an airtight container 1 week.
