Tag: savoury biscuits

One to go with my evening gin and tonic, this is an old (retro) recipe and is very easy. You’ll need: 

• 2oz each of plain flour, butter, grated cheddar/grated parmesan or grand padano (cheaper but fine for cooking) 
• 1 tablespoon of small seeds (linseed, poppy, sesame or similar) 
• A pinch each of salt, pepper and mustard powder 
• 1 egg yolk 

How to make…

• Rub the butter into the flour, stir in all the dry ingredients then add the egg yolk to bind the mixture 
• Rollout the dough thinly after sprinkling your work surface with a little flour and a few seeds 
• Use a small (3cm ish) cutter to cut into biscuits then place on a lightly buttered baking tray. This should make around 20, they won’t spread whilst baking 
• Cook in a medium oven until pale gold and crisp, about 15 mins. They will crisp further as they cool on a rack
