Preparation
1. Crush the biscuits into crumbs using a food processor or by placing into a zip-loc bag and using a rolling pin, then pour into a bowl.
2. Melt the butter over a low heat.
3. Stir the melted butter into the biscuit crumbs.
4. Line an 8-9 inch round baking tin with greaseproof paper.
5. Pour in the biscuit crumb and butter mix, and pat it down firmly with a spoon, making sure it's level.
