  • To knead biscuits, we recommend folding one side into the centre, then the other side on top and then turning the dough horizontally and then gently flattening into ½ to ¾ inch thickness. Then repeat the folding and rolling one last time. This creates the amazing fluffy lines similar to if you were to make homemade puff pastry.
