My m-in-law made the small thicker variants for silver wedding anniversary party last year. I made a double batch of the thinner ones yesterday to accompany post church drinks today. Melt in mouth and moreish either way!
6oz plain flour
1st salt
0.5tsp mustard powder
3oz fine semolina
4oz strong cheddar
6oz butter
Heat oven to 150C
Grease large baking tray
Mix flour, salt, semolina and mustard powder
Add cheese and butter - work together to get a smooth dough (in food processor is quickest)
Roll into a couple of sausage shapes of max 1 inch diameter. Chill for at least an hour.
Cut into half cm discs. Place onto baking tray(s) and cook for about 15 minutes until lightly golden.
M-in-laws original recipe, which is for a biscuit sandwich, differs once you get to the smooth dough stage:
Roll out to approx half inch on floured board.
Cut into small biscuits (and I mean small - half inch max) and put on baking tray
Bake for 40-50 minutes.
When cool sandwich with cream cheese - plain or with some paprika mixed in - or with whatever takes your fancy
Recipes and at least some menu planning for each week
About this blog
I started this blog as a place for me to record evening menu plans for a week for my family of four, somewhere to store the recipes I have on scraps of paper or in my head and potentially where kids can access their mother's recipes in the years to come. Both 'kids' are good cooks in their own right.
Some years on and it is now also a place I can share recipes with friends. Enjoy!
About the family
Me - I am a working mother of 2. I love cooking, when I get time, and planning out or at least having ideas for evening meals during the week helps considerably.
Mr B - the other main cook and a very good one too, but he does like to follow a recipe to the letter.
E - eldest child. Has been a pescatarian for a number of years now.
M - tallest of the family even though the youngest. Along with Mr B an out and out carnivore.
Recipes
We're based in the UK so you'll find a mix of measurements for my recipes. Where possible I have linked to online recipes from some of my favourite cooks and their cook books.
If you need any clarification do add a comment to the recipe and I will get back to you.
