Traditional Bath Oliver Biscuit

Melt butter in warm milk. Mix with flour, a little yeast, and salt to form a firm dough.

Knead until smooth and let it rise in a warm place.

Roll out extremely thin on a floured surface.

Cut into rounds and prick the entire surface with a docker or fork.

Bake at 170°C for 15-20 minutes until crisp and pale (not brown).

Invented by Dr. William Oliver in the 18th century as a digestive biscuit, perfect for cheese.
