Ingredients:
 

• 1 cup (113g) strong mature cheddar cheese

• 1 cup  (113g) parmesan cheese

• 1 cup or 226g salted butter

• 2 cups self raising flour

• Quarter teaspoon cayenne pepper, or just a pinch (it can be very fiery!!)

2 teacups rice krispies 




Method

​

1.   Pre heat oven to 200°. 
    

2.  Mix together cheddar, parmesan and butter. 
    

3.  Fold in flour, cayenne and rice krispies. 
    

4.  Put teaspoon mound into the palm of your hand, roll into a ball and then place onto a greased baking sheet.  Then flatten gently with a fork.  Space out well as these flatten and spread as they cook.
    

5.  Cook for 10 – 15 minutes until golden and crispy.   Watch very carefully and don't let them darken too much.
    

6. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.   They can be very crumbly so best to use a flat spatula very gently to transfer.
    

7. These can be stored in an air tight container for a few days with a piece of kitchen paper between each layer - trust me, they will get eaten very quickly!!!!
