How Do You Put Icing on Biscuits?

Here's a straightforward way to ice biscuits for a delicious treat:

1. Prepare Your Icing: Ensure your icing is smooth and of a dippable consistency. If it's too thick, add a tiny bit of liquid (milk, water, or lemon juice) until it reaches the desired consistency.
2. Skewer or Fork Method (Optional): Place a skewer or fork across the edge of your icing bowl. This will help you scrape off excess icing.
3. Dip the Biscuit: Gently dip the top surface of the biscuit into the icing. Avoid submerging the entire biscuit unless that's the desired effect.
4. Remove Excess Icing: Using the skewer or fork (if you used one), scrape off any excess icing as you lift the biscuit from the bowl. This creates a neater finish. Alternatively, gently tap the biscuit against the side of the bowl to remove excess icing.
5. Place on a Wire Rack: Put the iced biscuit on a wire rack to allow the icing to set properly. Place parchment paper underneath to catch any drips.
6. Add Sprinkles (Optional): If desired, immediately add sprinkles, edible glitter, or silver balls (dragees) while the icing is still wet so they adhere properly.
7. Let the Icing Set: Allow the icing to fully set before serving.

Here's a summary in a table format:
