Chilli And Cheese Savoury Biscuits (Cookies) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup plain flour
2 tablespoons self-raising flour
1/2 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt
40 g freshly grated parmesan cheese (you could also use asiago, padano, reggiano)
100 g grated cheddar cheese
125 g butter, chopped
2 teaspoons milk

Preparation

Combine both of the flours, the chilli falkes and salt in a food prcessor bowl. Whiz until just combined.
Add cheeses and mix very briefly.
Add the butter and whiz until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Add the milk and process until the mixture forms a ball.
Remove the mixture from the processor bowl and knead lightly on a floured board or clean benchtip. Knead until the mixture comes together and them roll into a log about the diameter of a 50c coin (about1.5 inch).
Roll the log in baking paper and twist the ends. Chill in the refrigerator until firm enough to slice. The mixture can also be frozen at this stage.
Preheat your oven to 180\u00b0C
Cut the log into slices about 5mm thick and place the discs on paper-lined oven trays. No need to grease the trays.
Bake 12-15 minutess or until golden. Remove from the oven and rest on the oven trays for a few minutes (to firm) and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Makes 40-50 biscuits.
