Cheddars

• 200g plain flour
• 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes
• 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
• 150g extra mature Cheddar cheese, grated
• 150g unsalted butter, chilled and diced

2. Add the diced butter and pulse until coarse sand appearance.
3. Add the whole egg and the yolk and pulse until a firm dough.

7. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas 6.
8. Cut the dough into 1cm slices and arrange on the baking trays.
9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden.
