- Cut in Butter: Cut cold butter into flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Incorporate Milk: Gradually stir in milk until a soft dough forms.
- Knead and Pat: Gently knead dough five times and pat to 1.5 cm thickness.
- Cut Out Biscuits: Cut out eight circles with an 8 cm cutter.
- Prepare Apple Filling: Combine diced apples with sugars, cinnamon, cardamom, and lemon juice.
