Cheese Biscuits
Serves: 12
Ingredients:
100g unsalted butter 100g plain flour pinch of salt pinch of Cayenne pepper 1 heaped tsp mustard powder 50g Cathedral City Extra Mature Cheddar, grated 1 free-range egg, beaten 50g vegetarian Parmesan-style cheese, gratedmethod:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
- Use a food processor to mix the butter and flour with the salt, cayenne, mustard powder, Cathedral City Mature and the Parmesan-style cheese. It will eventually bind together without the need for egg or water. Wrap in clingfilm and leave to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Lightly flour a work surface and gently roll out the pastry to about 2cm thick. Use a cutter to create the biscuits. Arrange them on a greased baking tray about 2cm apart.
- Brush the surface of each biscuit with the beaten egg and sprinkle over a little finely grated Parmesan-style cheese. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Carefully lift the biscuits off the tray using a palette knife and place on a rack to cool.
