Tips
- Trust the process when boiling the dough, ignoring the wrinkly look, as they will look great once baked.
- Best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven for maximum chew, but also glorious toasted for a few days.
- Bake for 20-25 mins at fan 220 C, turning them halfway through (a commenter suggests 18-20 mins max).
