You'll need a Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Hand Mixer for this recipe.
You will need:
- 130g chilled, diced butter
- 160g plain flour
- 100g freshly grated parmesan
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Let's make it:
Step 1:
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (170°C fan).
Step 2:
Place the chilled diced butter into a suitable mixing bowl.
Step 3:
Using the twin beaters, engage Heatsoft™ and begin gentle mixing on speed 1. Increase the speed as softening takes place, cream for approx. 2 minutes.
Step 4:
Turn off Heatsoft™.
Step 5:
Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix to combine.
Step 6:
Gather the dough into a ball and place into a sealed bag. Place into your refrigerator for 1 hour to rest.
Step 7:
Cut out 2 sheets of baking parchment and lightly dust with flour.
Step 8:
Remove the dough from the fridge and cut in half (this makes it easier to roll out).
Step 9:
Soften a little with your hands and then roll out between the 2 sheets of paper. The biscuits ideally need to be roughly 3-5mm deep so that they bake nice and crispy.
Step 10:
Cut out the biscuits using your pastry cutter and place onto your lined baking sheets.
Step 11:
Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes until golden.
Step 12:
Allow to cool before removing from the baking sheets.
Step 13:
Dust with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes.
Step 14:
Delicious served with dips, baked camembert or as part of a cheese board.
