Cheese Biscuits

Cakes, Biscuits and Bread  

Ingredients

50 gm Plain flour
50 gm Parmesan cheese
50 gm Cheshire cheese
50 gm Butter
2 pinch Salt
Black pepper
Cayenne pepper

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 190�C.

Grate the Parmesan and Cheshire cheese. You can use a food processor for this. Sift the flour into a bowl and add the seasoning. Add the butter and parmesan to the flour and rub the mixture to a crumb consistency. Stir in the Cheshire cheese and work the mixture to form a dough. All the mixing can be done in a food processor if preferred. Roll the dough to a thickness of around 1/8 inch (3mm) and use a small cutter to cut out the biscuits. If you do not have a cutter, use a knife to cut strips (like cheese straws). Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Leave to cool and set.

Notes

Use Gran Padana in place of Parmesan since it is cheaper.

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour.

If intolerant to cow’s milk, replace the cheese with goat’s or sheep’s cheese and the butter with goat’s butter or sunflower spread.
