Cheese and Parmesan Biscuits
Description
Cheese and Parmesan Biscuits are made from a blend of all-purpose and whole wheat flours mixed with butter and two types of cheese: cheddar or sheep's cheese for a creamy, tangy base, and finely grated Parmesan to add sharpness. After combining these ingredients with eggs, salt, and spices like black pepper and chili flakes, the dough is kneaded until smooth and rested for an hour to relax. Rolling out the dough and cutting it into circles helps ensure even baking. The biscuits are brushed with egg and sprinkled with Parmesan before baking at a high temperature to develop a crisp, slightly golden exterior while keeping the inside tender. These biscuits provide a combination of crumbly texture and savory flavor that pairs well with a range of dishes or as a standalone treat.

Instructions
How to make CHEESE AND PARMESAN BISCUITS:
- Finely grate the Parmesan cheese.
- Mix the eggs lightly with salt.
- Add pepper and chili flakes to taste.
- In a large bowl, mix the white flour with the whole wheat flour and make a well in the middle.
- Place the butter in the well and start kneading with your fingers until you get a crumbly dough.
- Add the cheddar (or sheep's cheese) and two thirds of the Parmesan and mix again to evenly distribute the cheeses.
- Pour the eggs over the dough and start kneading until the dough is smooth.
- If necessary, add milk or flour to obtain a homogeneous dough, not too stiff and easy to work.
- Wrap the dough in foil and chill for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 200 C degrees (390 F). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured work surface.
- Cut out circles using a cutter.
- Place the biscuits in the tray.
- Brush with a little beaten egg and sprinkle over some Parmesan.
- Bake the biscuits for 10-15 minutes until nicely browned.
- Cool on a cooling tray.
- They are very tasty and are a great snack when you want to avoid something sweet.
- And we don't want sweet all the time.
- Enjoy!
