Easy Cheese Biscuits

I just fancied a savoury snack, usually it's oat cakes with a little cheese, but they had all gone. So I decided to make some savoury biscuits and add some cheese. They are really delicious and so easy.

Makes about 10 biscuits

Ingredients
120g plain flour
Pinch of salt, more if you like them salty, but remember that the cheese is salty
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp mustard powder
60g butter
10g ground almonds or semolina
80g cheddar cheese, use a strong flavoured one for the best results
1 small egg, beaten

1. Preheat the oven to 170C/ gas mark 3 and place a piece of baking paper on a large baking sheet.
2. Sift the flour, salt, cayenne and mustard into a bowl and rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it is like breadcrumbs.
3. Stir in the almonds or semolina and the cheese.
4. Add the egg and stir in well to combine. Bring together with your hands.
Or if you have a food processor or mixer put all the dry ingredients in together and whiz until breadcrumbs are formed and add the egg and process until a dough ball is formed.
5. Break off walnut sized pieces of dough and roll into a ball. Place on the baking sheet until you have about 10 pieces.
6. Press each one down with your hands until flat.
7. Bake for around 12-15 minutes until light golden brown.
8. Allow to cool for few minutes on the tray then lift on to a cooling rack.
