Crispy Cheese Biscuits

Crispy Cheese biscuits are super delicious!! After all who hates Cheese? It's got the most irresistible savory and crispy taste. This is worth an attempt. I am recommending to whoever is uncertain with their baking skills, this recipe will not disappoint to any non-bakers.


You will need, Indgredients:

• 120g All purpose flour
• 75g Butter
• 80g Processed cheese grated
• 3 tbsp Fresh cream
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Chilly powder
• 1/8 tsp Mustard Powder
• 1/2 tsp Baking powder
• 5g Poppy seeds

Step 1:

In a large bowl, cream butter with a wooden spoon until it's light and fluffy. Add grated cheese gradually and keep creaming cheese and butter till cheese has merged well with the butter.

Sieve flour and mix it with chilly powder, mustard powder, baking powder and salt.



Step 2:

Add fresh cream to the creamed mixture of cheese and butter. Fold flour with a spatula in cheese and cream mixture.  

Knead lightly to form a smooth dough.

Wrap in a greaseproof paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Note: Water is sprinkled on the dough to retain the moisture in the dough. Remember I said Sprinkling of water, not pouring. Be careful.



Step 3:

With a rolling pin, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness and give shapes using a dough or cookie cutter. A simple square shape will also do a good job.

Place it on a lightly greased baking tray. Be little neat at this stage, use a dough cutter to lift the biscuits while placing on a tray.

Note: While rolling the dough, make sure you are giving the thin texture as the biscuits will rise. Also go for egg wash for very crispy texture.

Brush with egg or milk wash. Sprinkle poppy seeds and bake for 35-40 minutes at 120'C.

Note: Don't use melted butter to brush on the biscuits, there's already cheese in the dough. Sprinkling of garlic instead of poppy seeds will also give great flavor.

Cool on a wire rack. 

Enjoy!
