  5. Flour your work surface and rolling pin and roll out your dough until it is about 5mm thick

  6. Use a cookie cutter to cut out your biscuit shapes. Re-roll any spare dough until you have used it all

  7. Place the biscuit shapes on a silicone baking sheet or greaseproof paper and put on the middle shelf in the oven for 10-12 minutes or just starting to brown at the edges. Keep an eye on them, you don't want them to over cook.
