Ingredients

  • 120g cheddar cheese, grated

  • 120g cold butter, cubed

  • 120g plain flour

  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard

  • ½ tsp freshly-cracked black pepper

Method

  1. Beat all of the ingredients together until combined. Wrap the ball of dough in some parchment and place it into the fridge for at least an hour.

  2. Preheat your oven to 170°C and line two large flat baking trays with parchment.

  3. Roll the dough to about 4 mm in thickness and cut the biscuits into whatever shape you wish. Place the cut biscuits into the fridge for about 10 minutes to cool them down again — this will ensure a crumblier result.

  4. Place onto the trays with a bit of room between each. Bake for between 10 and 15 minutes until golden. You can top with nuts or more cheese if you wish by adding these just before baking.
