Parmesan Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 1/2 ounces butter (chilled & cubed)
4 1/2 ounces flour
1 ounce parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper (freshly ground)
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350F.
Rub the butter into the flour, by hand or in a food processor, until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
Stir in the parmesan, seasoning and cayenne pepper.
Work the mixture together into a ball and then knead briefly on a work surface lightly dusted with flour until smooth.
Cut the dough in half, flatten each piece slightly, then roll out thinly between 2 large sheets of Saran.
Lift off the top piece of Saran and cut into 2in biscuits.
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.
Bake the biscuits for 8-10 minutes until crisp and golden. Leave to cool on the baking sheets. Store in an airtight container.
