Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Preparation time less than 30 mins Cooking time 10 to 30 mins Ingredients 125g/4½oz chilled butter, cubed 125g/4½oz plain flour 25g/1oz freshly grated parmesan salt and freshly ground black pepper pinch cayenne pepper Method 1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. 2. Rub the butter into the flour, by hand or in a food processor, until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. 3. Stir in the parmesan, seasoning and cayenne pepper. 4. Work the mixture together into a ball and then knead briefly on a work surface lightly dusted with flour until smooth. 5. Cut the dough in half, flatten each piece slightly, then roll out thinly between 2 large sheets of cling film. 6. Lift off the top piece of cling film and cut into 5cm/2in biscuits. 7. Carefully lift them onto a lightly buttered baking sheet, then knead together and re-roll the trimmings to make more biscuits. You should make about 30 biscuits in total. 8. Bake the biscuits for 8-10 minutes until crisp and golden. Leave to cool on the baking sheets. Store in an airtight tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
