Take out one copy, put it on a non-stick cloth, and roll out a large base first, about 3mm thick, depending on your needs. When rolling, you can put something of the right thickness on the side, so that it is easier to roll evenly, I used a long ruler. It's okay to be round, it's okay to be square.

Use a needle jack to prevent bulging when baking. Remove the non-stick cloth directly into the baking tray and bake in the oven at the right temperature and time for the biscuits. I use 170 degrees for about 10 minutes.
