Round biscuit shelved (2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on ice

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shelved' is the definition.
(both can mean postponed)

'round biscuit' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'round' could be 'o' (o is a circular letter) and 'o' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'nice' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for on ice that I've seen before include "Awaiting decision" , "Ready to skate" , "Shelved" , "Temporarily suspended" , "not to be furthered?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
