Savory Cheese Biscuits

These little morsels arrived on the tables at the Boiler Room Cafe hot from the oven. Easy as pie to make and always enjoyed.

Into the bowl of your food processor, measure:

Cut in 12 Tablespoons of butter and pulse to chop roughly or until the butter is reduced to small chunks. Add:

•  1 ½ cups grated sharp cheddar and pulse to mix.

Freeze for later or remove to a pastry board to

add:

• 3 egg yolks whisked with 1 Tablespoon cold water.

Knead together until you can roll out ¼ inch thick.

 

Prick all over and cut into rounds or squares. Refrigerate until oven temperature reaches 375F. Bake 7-10 minutes.

 

Butter that runs out during baking will be absorbed as they cool.

 

Serve or freeze.
