Biscuit-making is almost embarrassingly easy. There are a couple of rules, though, to which you should adhere. Biscuit doughs need to be cooled thoroughly and well rested before baking. Secondly, biscuits don’t keep as well as you might imagine, even in lidded containers. Try to serve them fairly soon after baking, especially chocolate biscuits. It’s easy to cook off just half a batch and leave the remainder of the dough in the fridge for another day.
