These are from Paul Hollywood’s book How to Bake. They are flaky and cheesy and extremely dangerous to bake when you are alone at home. The recipe makes around 20 cookies and I may have eaten at least 7 while the cookies were still warm.

I love recipes with 3 ingredients .

Ingredients:

75 g all purpose flour, 75 gm shredded gruyere ( I used an aged dry one) and 75 gm unsalted butter (cold in 1 cm cubes). Salt and pepper to sprinkle

Using a food processor or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour till the mixture resembles bread crumbs, add the cheese and knead very gently till it just forms a soft dough. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes at least.

Flour your surface, roll dough out to 5 mm thickness ( I use 5mm rubber bands on my rolling pin) and use a 5 cm biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits. Bake at 400 F for 10 minutes till just brown around edges.

Remove to a cooling rack and cool (or not). Paul Hollywood says he enjoys these with champagne- they taste pretty good even without any
