Cheese and Sesame Biscuits Recipe

75 g/3 oz butter or margarine

75 g/3 oz wholemeal (wholewheat) flour
75 g/3 oz Cheddar cheese, grated
30 ml/2 tbsp sesame seeds
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 egg, beaten

Method:

Rub the butter or margarine into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the cheese and half the sesame seeds and season with salt and pepper. Press together to form a firm dough. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 5 mm or 1/4 in thick and cut into rounds with a biscuit (cookie) cutter. Place the biscuits (crackers) on a greased baking (cookie) sheet, brush with egg and sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5 for 10 minutes until golden.
