Beat in the mixer until dough forms. The dough should be sticky.

Set aside for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, add 100 g all-purpose flour and beat again.

Divide the dough into pieces of 50 g each.

Roll out the dough using your hands and shape it into a circle, joining the edges.

Put it in a pan with parchment paper at the bottom, leaving space between them as the biscuits will rise.

Preheat the oven at 200°C (390°F) and bake for 20 minutes.
