Cheese and Chilli Biscuits
Savoury biscuit to serve with drinks
Ingredients
- 300 g Butter, unsalted I don't always use unsalted, but I will adjust the added salt to reflect that
- 300 g Plain flour
- 300 g Mature cheese, finely grated I use a combination of Tasty and Parmesan
- Salt
- Cayenne Pepper or Chilli Powder I use about 1/2 tsp for a nice flavour but no heat, but it can be omitted
Instructions
- In a food processor blend the butter with the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, or TMX 10 Sec Sp 6
- Add cheese, chilli and salt, process until the dough comes together in a ball, or TMX Dough mode approx 1 Min
- Form the dough into logs (2-4) and wrap in cling wrap, rest it in the fridge for 1 hour or so.
- Preheat the oven 200 C
- Slice the logs approximately 1 cm thick and place on baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Bake 15 minutes until golden brown, allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes then cool completely on a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
You can use any hard strong flavoured cheese or a combination (Clean out the fridge of any leftover cheese pieces)
You can roll the dough out and cut into sticks or shapes.
