These brown sugar lace crisps are delightfully thin and crisp, adding an elegant decorative touch to desserts like cakes, tarts, and ice creams. Not only do they enhance the visual appeal of your treats, but they also offer a pleasing textural contrast when paired with creamy and soft desserts. The rich flavor of brown sugar lends these crisps a caramel-like taste that beautifully complements a variety of sweet dishes. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or treating yourself, these crisps will elevate your desserts and impress your guests.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To make these lace crisps, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients:

• Butter: Adds richness and flavor.
• Brown Sugar: Provides sweetness and that signature caramel flavor.
• Flour: Helps to bind the ingredients together.
• Optional Flavorings: Consider adding a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, or even a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Melt the Butter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat (you can also do this in the microwave). Once melted, stir in the brown sugar until fully combined.
3. Add Flour: Gradually mix in the flour until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
4. Scoop and Shape: Using a 1/2 teaspoon, scoop out small amounts of the batter and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart as they will spread while baking.
5. Bake: Bake the lace crisps for 5-7 minutes, watching closely to ensure they don’t burn. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through to promote even cooking.
6. Cool and Remove: Once baked, let the crisps cool completely on the baking sheet. Then, use a thin offset spatula or knife to gently lift them off the baking mat.
7. Storage: Store the cooled lace crisps in an airtight container for up to three months, although they are best enjoyed fresh.
