If your offcuts are already rolled out, then there’s no need to re-roll them. Lay a patchwork of the pastry on a baking tray, without overlapping.
If you have a ball of excess pastry, roll it into a 5-10mm-thick sheet and lay on a baking tray.
Next, choose your toppings. Go sweet with a combination of ingredients such as unrefined sugar, crushed nuts and chocolate chips, or go savoury with sea salt, crushed spices, seeds and grated cheese, all added to taste.
Heat the oven to 190C (180C fan)/390F/gas 6.
Run a rolling pin over the toppings to embed them into the pastry, then bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Once cool, break into large, biscuit-sized shards. If you’ve made savoury biscuits, I recommend serving them with cheese and dips.
