Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 200g flour
- 150g mature cheddar, grated
- pinch of salt
- pinch of per-peri powder (I substituted a large pinch of Lawry's Tabasco salt instead of this and the salt)
- 1/2 tsp dry mustard powder
- 125g butter, melted
- dry seeds for rolling (I used shelled hemp seeds, but sesame or poppy seeds will work well too)
