Preheat oven to 180℃. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.

Between 2 sheets of baking paper roll dough out to approximately 5mm thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut into biscuits and place on prepared baking tray.
Bake for about 10-15 minutes until firm and lightly golden. If still undercooked on the bottom turn over and lightly brown the bottom of the biscuits. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Biscuits will continue to crisp over a couple of hours.
