Question:When baking biscuits, why does the dough spread while baking to resemble flat saucers, not thick biccies?
Bernie Whiteroad
Answer:
This will depend on the type of biscuit dough. The softer and sweeter the dough, the greater the spreading will be. It occurs due to heat during baking and the mix of ingredients. Always arrange biscuits about 1-2cm apart to allow for this.
