Aperitivo hour: Cheese & Chili Biscuits
This is a great way to revive dried out bits of cheese lurking at the back of your fridge!
In a large bowl mix together 150g grated cheese (I used Red Leicester), 150g finely cubed butter, 150g flour, a good pinch of sea salt, and a pinch of dried chili flakes.
Once all the ingredients have been incorporated into a rough dough (you can also used a food processor), roll out onto a floured surface and cut using a small cookie cutter (2.5cm wide, 1cm thick). Alternatively, roll the dough into a 2.5cm thick sausage (wrapping the dough in cling film may help) and cut into 1cm discs.
Bake in the oven for 12 minutes at 180c, making sure to keep some space between the biscuits as they will expand out.
Notes: These freeze (unbaked) really well, ready to be popped straight into the oven.
