old winchester, nigella & sesame bites

simple party biscuits that keep well in a tin

Ingredients (makes about 50 biscuits)

335g flour
300g old Winchester or parmesan
300g unsalted butter
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 ½ tsp fine sea salt
1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
2 tbs sesame seeds
2 tbs nigella seeds

Method

Put everything except the seeds into a mixing bowl and whiz until the mixture is well mixed. Add the seeds and continue processing until the dough comes together, like pastry.

Form into three or four cylinders – about 3 to 4cm in diameter – and wrap in clingfilm. Chill for at least 4 hours until firm.

Cut into 5mm slices, space 1-2 cm apart on baking sheets and bake at 180C for about 17-29mins till nicely golden – do not undercook.

They keep perfectly in a tin for 2 or more weeks.
