Make Ahead

It’s good to make a double batch of this dough, wrap it in cling film and put it in the fridge. It will keep for a couple of days, ready to slice and bake as needed. The dough also freezes well: wrap in a double layer of cling film, then freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost just enough until you can cut through it with a sharp knife, then slice off as many biscuits as you want and return the rest of the dough to the freezer.
