Hi,
About how thick is the silicon template you used?
Thanks!
The one I use is about 2mm thick. Enjoy making!
Hi! Where did you get your silicone templates? Thank you
Now I have a template I got online from Japan. But I started off making them myself from an IKEA silicone place mat :-)

Hi! From what Japanese store/site did you get your new template?
Hi, I got it from Cotta but I am not sure they ship overseas : https://www.cotta.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=092084
Enjoy making!
Hi,
what is the recipe for the chocolate biscuits version?
Actually I have not done one yet… You’re right I should try!
Hi, do the egg whites need to be beaten beforehand?
Not really : Egg whites can be added as they are into the butter mix. Just add them little by little. Please see around 0:40 in the video :)
Hi do you to pipe the biscuits very thinly? Will it be crisp on the outside and melt in the mouth?
Thanks
I don’t pipe the dough, I use the thin mould and a spatula. You may want to check the pictures or the video recipe above. Yes normally it will be crisp outside and melty inside :-)
