• Cut into even triangles or squares, or use a cookie cutter
• You can brush with milk or egg on the top if you like but not necessary
• Bake in the middle of the oven for approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on the heat of your oven. I usually do mine for around 12 minutes. Check the bottom of one is slightly browned which will tell you they're ready.
