Time it so guests arrive just as you’re taking these biscuits from the oven; the aroma will be irresistible.
They are also fantastic kept in an airtight container and warmed through on a later date. Add some chopped green olives, to make them a little special. These are perfect served with a glass of wine pre-dinner or added to an antipasto platter.
