1. Use cold butter from fridge cut into chunks

2. Grate cheese & if using herbs chop finely

3. Mix together butter, flour and cheese to a fine crumb

4. Add water and form a dough need lightly (I sometimes use an egg rather than water)

5. Put dough in fridge for at least 30 minutes

6. Roll out and cut out with cookie cutter (1 cm thick approx.)

7. Line a baking tray and arrange biscuits on it so they are not touching.

8. Brush each biscuit with a little milk and if using herbs sprinkle over now

9. Bake in the oven for approx. 10 minutes

10. Put on a baking tray - they will crisp up as they cool down

:Biscuits are improved by freezing the mixture cut to shape and freeze flat for 30 minutes. Once frozen put into a container and these can be kept in the freezer for approx. 2 months.
