Wheat free Cheese thins

makes 30

125 g wheat free or gluten free flour (depending on dietary requirements)
75 g butter or margarine
2 tsp wheat & gluten free mustard (smooth or wholegrain)
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
125 g cheddar, grated
50 g parmesan cheese, grated
1 tbsp poppy seeds

preheat oven: 200°C, fan 180°C, 400°F, Gas 6

1. Mix the flour, fat, mustard and cayenne together until it looks like breadcrumbs.
2. Add the cheddar and knead the mixture into a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until dough looks smooth.
3. Place dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 30 mins - 1 hour.
4. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface approximately 3mm thick and cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Use all the dough.
5. Line baking trays with non-stick baking parchment and place the biscuits on them.
6. Sprinkle the biscuits with the grated parmesan and the poppy seeds.
7. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until golden looking. Place on a wire rack to cool.

These biscuits are delicious hot or cold, and should be kept in an airtight container.

They also make a very good accompaniment to soup, and we think can be substituted anywhere that bread or crackers would be eaten.
