Cheese Lovers Biscuits
Just like when making pastry, the use of a food processor will mean the dough does not get overworked. Yes, you can make this recipe without one, just be mindful to maintain a light hand.
I had to resize this recipe down from commercial portions. That said, it’s handy to have a roll of these in the freezer to cook on demand.
ingredients
- 150g butter, softened
- 200g plain flour
- 25g cornflour
- 10g fine salt (2 tsp)
- 5g ground white pepper (2 tsp)
- 80g cheddar cheese, grated
- 80g parmesan cheese, grated
- smoked paprika
Blend the butter, flours, salt and pepper together in the food processor on a low setting. Add the cheeses and pulse until it just comes together.
Tip the dough onto your bench and shape into logs. Wrap and chill in the fridge to firm up (30 minutes minimum).
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Slice 1cm thick pieces from the log and lay each round a couple of centimetres apart on a lined baking tray.
Sprinkle a touch of smoked paprika across each one before baking for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool on the trays before moving to a cooling rack.
