Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Remarks
You may well have noticed in the photo for stage 3 that I am not using normal French mustard paste, but the classic British powdered sort, made by Coleman's of Norwich. If you wish to do the same (which works well), use double the stated quantity of mustard paste: e.g. if the recipe asks for 30 g of mustard, use 60 g of powder.
Keeping: A few days in a cloth bag. They freeze very well.

Toasted-flour biscuits
Toasted-flour biscuits
This is a surprising biscuit recipe, in which the flour is not added in its normal state, but gently toasted beforehand in the oven. This light dry-roasting changes the taste considerably, giving these biscuits notes of honey, coffee and even spices. Their distinctive flavour goes very well with either tea or coffee.
