Nothing shows you care quite like homemade gifts. These Parmesan biscuits are easy to
make and a great gift for any occasion, especially during Christmas. They’re full of cheesy
flavour and have a crunchy bite to them

Ingredients
100g plain flour
100g unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
100g Parmesan, finely grated
1 med egg, beaten, for glaze
1tbsp poppy seeds
1tbsp sesame seeds
2 baking sheets, lined with baking parchment

Method
Set the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Tip the flour, butter, salt and cayenne
pepper into a food processor and add most of the Parmesan. Whizz until the
ingredients just bind together — if the dough feels very soft, wrap it in a freezer
1/2
 bag and chill in the fridge until it’s firm enough to handle.

Roll the dough out thinly, cut it into 3 x 7cm (1¼ x 2¾in) rectangles and put them
on baking sheets. Chill for 10 mins before cooking.

Brush with egg glaze and sprinkle seeds over one half of each biscuit, using poppy
seeds on about half of the biscuits and sesame seeds on the rest.

Bake the biscuits for 10-15 mins, until they’re lightly golden, swapping around the
trays in the oven if necessary.

Remove the biscuits from the oven and leave them to cool on the baking sheets for
a few minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. They’ll keep for
up to a week in an airtight container.
