Parmesan and oat biscuits
We used organic porridge oats in this recipe, but there are some lovely plain rolled oats available out there to try.
Instructions
Step 1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Step 2 Mix all dry ingredients together with 1 tablespoon of parmesan. Cut in butter and mix well (use a food processor if you have one).
Step 3 Beat egg into milk and mix with dry ingredients until a dough forms. Roll out and cut into 5cm rounds with a cookie cutter. Lay on baking tray and sprinkle with remaining parmesan.
Step 4 Bake for 10 minutes and cool on a rack. Store in an airtight container. Serve with tomato soup or sliced firm pears.
Variations
These work just as well with any firm cheese like cheddar or edam.
