Dust the dough and work top with flour, tip out the dough, form into a ball and gently flatten it to 3cm/1 inch with your hands.
Press a floured 3cm/1¼ inch round cookie cutter, or upturned coffee cup, into the dough to cut out circles.
Gather up and squeeze together any offcuts, then flatten and cut more circles.
Brush the dough circles with milk
Lift the dough circles onto the baking tray.
