And given to me by Sanda



Ingredients:


  • 1 cup (113g) strong mature cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup  (113g) parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup or 226g salted butter
  • 2 cups self raising flour
  • Quarter teaspoon cayenne pepper, or just a pinch (it can be very fiery!!)

2 teacups rice krispies




Method

 

  1.   Pre heat oven to 200°.

  2. Mix together cheddar, parmesan and butter.

  3. Fold in flour, cayenne and rice krispies.

  4. Put teaspoon mound into the palm of your hand, roll into a ball and then place onto a greased baking sheet.  Then flatten gently with a fork.  Space out well as these flatten and spread as they cook.

  5. Cook for 10 – 15 minutes until golden and crispy.   Watch very carefully and don't let them darken too much.

  6. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.   They can be very crumbly so best to use a flat spatula very gently to transfer.

  7. These can be stored in an air tight container for a few days with a piece of kitchen paper between each layer - trust me, they will get eaten very quickly!!!!
