STEPS

To make the biscuits

2. Preheat oven to 190 C / Gas mark 5.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough 1/3 at a time to 0.25cm thickness. Refrigerate the remaining dough until ready to use. Cut into hearts (approx 10cm across) with a lightly floured biscuit cutter. Place 2 to 3cm apart on ungreased baking trays. 
4. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light and golden brown. Cool biscuits completely before icing.
