5. Cover a flat oven-tray with Aluminum foil.
6. Take the bisquits from one of the packets and place with the 'patterned' side down.
7. Then pour the mix over the bisquits, and spread it.
8. It will be very 'runny' but try to cover the bisquits without the mix running beyond them.

10. Then place the bisquits from the other packet on top of the mix,
11. With the 'patterned' side up.
