How did Rick Stein managed to put his autograph on a biscuit?
I am pretty sure they are factory made. I know it is probably done by press but how could he get the line so sharp, crisp and deep into each biscuit? How could he stop the dough from getting stuck on the fine mould?
I must admit I only bought the biscuits because of Rick Stein’s smilely face on the box. It reminded me of his cookery programmes on TV about fresh and local produce and made me forget that I actually have been to his restaurant in Padstow and was disappointed by the over-priced but averagely tasted seafood. (I am so weak!)
How did the biscuit taste? I actually quite like it. I have to ration it to one piece at a time though as it contains 24% of fat.
If you have any idea what he might have done to put the autograph on the biscuits, please leave me a comment to let me know! Cheers!

Probably the same process as all biscuits with markings. Check out McVities disgestives for example.
That was what I thought initially too. But when I looked closer, I found that the characters on Rick Stein’s biscuits are much intertwined and appear to go deeper than other biscuits like McVites.
That makes me wonder if they do it differently?
I’m sure it is stamped prior to baking and allowance made for some expansion.
I do not know how he did, but I have an artesanal idea.
If you find a thin metal cord that you can modelate writing the name you wish, you can put it inside each cookie while baking. As this metalic cord is cheap and moldeable you can make the necesary amount to complet one tray. Remove after getting cold, probably it will fall alone of with tweezers. Artesanal but may be works.
If you finally get a better solution, please let me know.
That is an interesting idea and it is someting I can try at home, which could be fun! Thank you!
