  • About

The high fat content of these little biscuits gives them their sandy (sablé) texture. I’ve been serving these with drinks at Blandford Street for years. They need to be highly seasoned. It’s worth making a big batch as they disappear quickly. They also freeze well.

Ingredients

  • 200 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp

Method

Put the flour, salt and cayenne pepper in the food-processor bowl, mix quickly, and add the cheese and butter. Run the motor until the mixture forms a smooth ball, taking care not to overwork the mixture (it would get too soft). Wrap in clingfilm and keep in the freezer until needed.

Preheat the oven to 375°F
