Holes in biscuits, WHY?
Most biscuits in the UK have small holes in the tops, are they for any particular reason or just for a prety pattern?
Answers:
they're there to keep blisters or big empty spaces from forming while the biscuits bake. they give the air contained in the dough a way out when it expands during the baking.
and besides, it keeps the calorie count down, see, the calories leak out via these holes. Plus, it gives the melted butter plenty of surface space so you can put on MORE of it. (Nods solemnly)
