- Roll out the dough pretty thinly (approx. 5 mm) on a floured surface, cut out 5-6 cm diameter circles. Additionally, cut out a small circle in the middle in half of the biscuits.
- Transfer the biscuits onto the baking tray covered with baking paper, leaving some space between them (they will not rise a lot). The dough is not very elastic so be careful when you transfer the cut-out biscuits as they may break.

- When cold, spread some jam on a whole biscuit, cover it with a biscuit with a hole in the middle, sprinkle with icing sugar.
