- You can keep the mixture for 4-5 days, wrapped up like a fat sausage in your fridge. Slice it like a salami, and cook the biscuits as you need them.

4. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
5. Slice the sausage into biscuits about the thickness of a pound coin. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them to allow for expansion.
