Cheese Biscuits
Description
This recipe combines plain flour with softened butter and a blend of grated cheddar and parmesan cheeses, delivering an intense cheese flavor. Freshly chopped rosemary adds a subtle herbal note that cuts through the richness. The ingredients are mixed just until combined to avoid overworking the dough, which helps maintain a tender, crumbly texture.
After forming the dough, it is rolled out to a uniform thickness of about 5mm and cut into small circles around 5cm in diameter using a cookie cutter. The biscuits bake at a moderate temperature until lightly golden, producing a crispy outside while retaining some softness inside.
These biscuits can be shaped with various cookie cutters to add a decorative touch. Adding mustard powder or a hint of marmite can deepen the savory profile, creating new layers of flavor. They pair well as a snack or alongside light meals like salads and soups.
Ingredients
- 120 g plain flour
- 120 g butter softened

- 5 g rosemary finely chopped, fresh
Instructions

Notes
- Mix the dough just until combined to ensure the biscuits remain tender, avoiding over-mixing.
- Use any preferred cookie cutter shapes; stars and rounds both work well for these cheese biscuits.

- A bit of marmite mixed into the dough adds a savory depth to the biscuits' taste.
