3 Gradually incorporate the sifted ingredients until fully incorporated. Cover the dough and chill in a cool place for 2 hours.

4 Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C. Grease the baking trays for the biscuits.

On a clean, floured surface (1/2 cup is fine), roll out small portions of the chilled dough. Using moulds, make shaped biscuits.

5 Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the pans to allow the biscuits to cool.

Enjoy your tea time.
