Cheese Biscuits | Savoury Snack Recipe | Divine Taste With Anushruti

Ingredients:

140 gm (1 cup) whole wheat flour

100 gm (1/2 cup) butter

200 gm (1 1/2 cups packed) cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper or red chilli powder or paprika powder

1 tsp salt

Method:

- In a large bowl, with the help of a hand held mixer blend the butter and cheese until smooth.

In another bowl mix in the flour salt and chilli powder.

- Stir the dry ingredients into the butter and cheese and mix well with your hands until the dough comes together.

- Alternatively, cut chilled butter and cheddar cheese into cubes and process in a food processor fitted with a metal blade.

put in the dry ingredients and process again until you you have a smooth dough.

Do not over process the dough.

- Form the dough into a ball and knead briefly for a minute or two and then divide into 2 equal halves. Roll the dough into a log and wrap with baking parchment or grease proof paper.

Twist the ends to seal it (like a toffee wrapper).

- Chill the logs for 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator. If you are in a hurry, put the logs in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

This makes it easier to cut into slices.

- Unwrap the chilled dough. Cut into 1/4” slices. Place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment or grease proof paper.

- Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees centigrade (400 F) for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned at the edges.

If you have cut your slices very thin, it could be done in 8 minutes

Note:

Depending on your oven and your preference the baking time for these could vary from 8 to 12 minutes.

I like my wafers crispy and browned and bake it for longer, more like 10  minutes.
