Cheesy biscuits recipe

[JammieJem]

Any suggestions for savoury biscuits with grated cheddar in them? I've tried a couple of online recipes but they just taste like cheesy pastry.
Would like to make them with toddler so nothing mega complicated!

My go to cheese biscuit recipe is equal weight of flour, butter, and grated cheese, with either a pinch of mustard powder or cayenne pepper. Bring together with your hands, roll out, cut into shapes and bake for 10-15 minutes. They melt in the mouth.

Ooh will try that this afternoon thanks!

Aged Gruyère keeps its cheesiness when cooked better than cheddar in my opinion.

Thank you for replying 😊 Unfortunately that ratio is one of the ones I thought tasted like pastry! Sorry to unintentionally offend your biscuits! I agree they were melt in the mouth though, and deliciously cheesy.

I suppose I was hoping for a recipe with either a different ratio or extra ingredients - maybe cornflour would help?

I haven't made them myself, but another user shared this Nigella recipe recently and I bookedmarked. Maybe be what you are looking for? But they also seem like they will be short and buttery, and it sounds like you are looking for more of a cracker texture with crunch and snap?

Ooh @SummaLuvin that definitely looks like a possibility. We will give those a try!

I make the Ottolenghi olive oil crackers and they are definitely mor like a cracker than a pastry, you might be able to make them cheesy.

We made the parmesan shortbread recipe @SummaLuvin suggested, and can report they are delicious 😋 We didn't bother fridging the dough, just patted it flat and used a cookie cutter, so they are really toddler friendly too! Thank you
