Stage 2 - 3 min.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Roll out the dough about 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) thick.

Stage 5 - 7 min.

Cut out small circles...

Stage 6 - 3 min.

... and arrange on a baking sheet. NB: As the dough is very fragile, a palette knife will make lifting the biscuits easier.

Remarks

Lime zest works very well, too.

Keeping: A few days in an airtight tin.
