Using your hands, roll the dough into small balls (I weigh these so each biscuit is the same size, 20g each), then place 10 onto each prepared baking tray, leaving a couple of inches between each biscuit. Using a fork dipped in flour, press onto each of the biscuits, leaving an indent and pressing the biscuits a little flatter.
