They are often made with simple ingredients like flour, butter, and a touch of sugar, resulting in a satisfying crunch. These biscuits are a popular choice for cheese boards and entertaining.

After opening, store any remaining biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature. This will help maintain their crispness and prevent them from becoming stale. Ensure the container is well-sealed to protect them from moisture and air.
