- Gradually pour in the hot water, stirring continuously until the mixture forms a smooth, uniform dough.
- Transfer the dough into a piping bag or a sturdy plastic bag with a small corner snipped off.

- Place the tray into a preheated oven at 250°C.
- Bake until the biscuits are lightly golden and crisp.
