Chill dough

Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for at least one hour.

Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 180°C top and bottom heat.

Roll out and cut out dough

Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to about 0.5 cm thick and cut out biscuits. (Note: Same number of lids as bottoms)

Bake biscuits

Place biscuits on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for about 12 minutes until golden brown.
