I was just attaching Billy's lead for his afternoon walk, when I looked around to see Lady M with her face, hair, and tiara, covered with a light dusting of flour; she was baking.
When I returned some time later, the house was filled with a delicious, and familiar, aroma. She had made some of 'Julie New's fabulous Parmesan Biscuits.
Julie is a friend who first gave us the recipe about 20 years ago, and we've been using it ever since. I'm using an old photo that I have used before, because I can't do better.
The biscuits are made by combining 100 gms flour, 100 gms butter, and 100 gms of freshly grated parmesan (don't use ready grated), one egg yolk, a quarter teaspoon of chili powder, and half a teaspoon of cumin seeds. Wizz into a ball, and refrigerate for a while.
Roll out to about 1 cm thickness, and cut into rounds, Bake for about 10 mins at 200 C. Watch very carefully that they don't burn.
I cannot think of a better savoury biscuit to accompany a glass of red wine in the evening.
Just delicious. Thank you Julie.
Thanks for supplying the recipe. They look delicious. With wine, they should make a refreshing break from gingerbread cookies and egg nog.
ReplyDeleteIf you like Parmesan, Cumin, and crumbly biscuits, you'll like these. I'd like Lady M to make some every week; but.....
DeleteThey sound delicious. Enjoy your treat.
ReplyDeleteShe's hidden them. But I'll soon find them!
DeleteYou should be able to sniff them out!! They sound yummy.

ReplyDeleteI'm surprised someone hasn't made these commercially.
DeleteMmmm... They do sound "simply scrumptious".
ReplyDeleteThey are YP. My favourite savoury biscuits.
DeleteI remember this recipe and even tried it once. It turned out wonderful. Maybe I'll try it again.

DeleteThey look amazing …… you married well Cro !!!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteIt's so frustrating when ones tiara gets covered in flour. Jules, my Butler, becomes quiet grumpy shining it back up afterwards. Never mind, I shall make a batch of those delicious biscuits today.
