5. Adding the flour in stages allows the ingredients to bind together easier.

6. Continue to add the flour in stages until it has all absorbed into the mixture.

8. Once the mixture has bound together take a clump of dough and place it on a lightly dusted work surface. (Ensure you dust the surface with plain flour so that it does not stick).

9. Roll the mixture out with a lightly dusted rolling pin (again dust with flour). Roll to about 5mm thick. this mixture is quite crumbly so if it starts to split just pat back together using your hands and re-roll to the required thickness.

13. Place the biscuits on the middle shelf and bake for approximately 15 minutes. These biscuits should be pale in colour and not golden. Once baked remove from the oven, placing the baking sheet onto a wire rack allowing the biscuits to cool.
