ad. A classic recipe that is low-effort and high-reward. These are great as a snack, so tasty with drinks, and you can even add a little topping to make them into lovely little canapes.
As we are only using a couple of ingredients, we want them to be good ones so we get an incredible flavour. You need to look out for authentic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP cheese, this guarantees you quality and flavour. A Taste of Europe.
To make these you’ll need:
150g plain flour
80g Parmigiano Reggiano DOP (24-month-aged is great for this but 30 months is delicious too)
100g room temperature salted butter
1 large egg yolk
All you do is blitz together, then shape into two sausage shapes. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for about an hour. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C. While the oven is heating, cut into 1cm rounds and place on a lined baking tray. Finely grate over a little extra Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, if you like. Bake for 20-24 minutes.
If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can rub the ingredients together to form a crumble dough, then use your hands to shape it into a dough.
If you want to jazz them up a bit, you can add a big pinch of any of these seasonings as you’re making the dough:
Cayenne pepper
Paprika
English mustard powder
Finely chopped rosemary
Finely chopped sage
Thyme
