  • Product and process of making biscuits with a corrugated configuration
    Patent number: 5419903
    Abstract: A process for producing biscuits comprises forming a dough into generally laminar portions each having a corrugated configuration and baking the portions to form biscuits. The corrugated configuration is such that the resistance to breaking of the biscuits is greater in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the corrugations extend than in the direction in which the corrugations extend by a factor of at least 1.5. In a preferred process, dough is formed into a sheet 1b having a corrugated configuration (preferably by feeding a flat sheet of dough to a pair of corrugated rollers 6). Individual portions are cut out from the corrugated sheet 1b and baked to form the biscuits.
