Add the milk to the dry ingredients gradually to achieve a stiff, pliable dough. It shouldn’t be at all sticky to the touch.
Take care when rolling out. You want an even rectangle, which can be cut into 2 even pieces that fit together perfectly – or there’ll be wastage and the biscuits might be too thick.
Don’t overcook the biscuits. Garibaldis are meant to be light golden brown.
Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
