Sprinkle a little oatmeal onto a clean worktop and tip out the dough
Flatten with your hand or a rolling pin until it’s about half a centimeter thick
Cut out your circles and transfer onto the greased baking tray – they won’t expand during cooking but you should leave at least a cm between each one
Bake for 20 minutes or until they begin to turn golden brown
