Cheese biscuits

The recipe for these delicious savoury biccies was generously given to me a friend.They are very easy to make and nice to have around while you set up the picnic, along with a first drink

You need :

100g very cold, unsalted butter, cut into chunks

100g plain flour

Pinch of salt and cayenne pepper

½ tsp mustard powder

50g mature cheddar, finely grated

50g Parmesan cheese, finely grated, plus extra for sprinkling

1 egg, beaten

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4. Place the butter and flour in the bowl of a food processor, together with the salt, cayenne pepper, mustard and the two cheeses. Turn on the mixer then, when the mixture starts to come together (as pastry, if you like), pulse in short spurts. Once the texture is clumpy, tip it all out on to a lightly-floured surface and knead it until well blended and smooth. Roll into a log shape about 4-5cm diameter and press the ends flat. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

To assemble for cooking, grease a flat baking sheet with butter. Dip a sharp knife into a mug of hot water and slice thin biscuits from the log. Place on a baking tray about 2cm apart; it will probably take two lots of baking to use up the mixture. Brush the beaten egg over each biscuit and sprinkle over a little finely grated Parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden. The superb smell will also tell you they are ready. Lift off the tray using a pallet knife and place on cooling rack. Once cold, put into a sealable box.
