HM Biscuits for Cheese

doorstep

OH has bought home some Brie tonight (yummmmmmm!) :j . We don't have any crackers/cheese biscuits at home though. I think I remember reading a thread and someone (thriftlady?) said something about making oat biscuits which were great with cheese.

I have done a search and looked at the biscuits thread in the mega index sticky, but can't find the type of thing I'm looking for.

Does anyone have a recipe for a biscuit I can eat with Brie!!!!!

Thanks

Sorry doorstep, I don't have any cheese biscuit recipes.I've got a great oat biscuit recipe but it's sweet and would taste horrible with Brie :eek: Hope someone else can help you.

moggins

6ox Wholemeal flour
2oz plain flour
3ox butter
1oz soft brown sugar
1 beaten egg
1 - 2 tsp milk

Preheat the oven to gas mark 6. grease 2 baking sheets

mix together the wholemeal and plain flour. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Stir the sugar into the mixture, add the egg and milk and mix to form a fairly firm dough. Knead lightly. Roll out the dough to a rectangle 12 x 10 inches.

Using a pastry wheel or knife cut the dough into 21/2 in squares. Place on the baking sheets and !!!!!! with a fork. Bake for about 12 minutes until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.

I think the type of biscuits that go best with cheese are the ones I know as water biscuits. There's a recipe in the link below:-

Is this what you are looking for?

Oatcakes

25g/ 1oz plain flour
pinch salt
pinch baking soda
110g/ 4oz medium oatmeal
25g/ 1oz butter, margarine or bacon fat
1/4 cup boiling water
Makes 4


Sift the flour, salt and baking soda into the oatmeal. Melt the butter, margarine or fat in boiling water and add to the dry ingredients. Mix until the mixture is a spongy mass (a little extra water can be used if necessary). Turn mixture on to a surface covered with plenty of dry oatmeal and scatter more on top. Flatten the dough and roll out until 1/2cm/ 1/4inch in thickness, then place a dinner plate on top and trim into a neat circle. Scatter on more oatmeal and rub it in all over the surface. Cut into quarters before baking on either a griddle or in the oven.

Griddle Method
Place the oatcakes on a heated griddle or heavy pan over medium heat and bake until they dry out and curl. Then place under a grill at medium heat to cook the top of the oatcakes.

Oven Method
Bake at gas mark 4/ 180°C/ 350°F for 20-30 minutes or until dried out.

I had a go at making my own water biscuits with plain flour and water with some salt added - they came out splendid, hard and crunchy - just seive the flour and salt and add enough water to make a pliable dough, roll out thinly and cut into rounds. Bake. Haven't made them for a long time though.

What about cheese straws? I don't have a recipe as I'm only just getting back into baking again, but someone here is bound to have one. If it doesn't have to be a biscuit, how about cheese scones? I love cheese scones, and they'd be a bit more filling too.

100g Cheddar Cheese, grated
50g plain flour
25g soft butter
1/4 tsp baking powder

Blitz everything in a food processor until you get a dough. (Keep going, it does happen!)
Chill for at least 15 mins. Roll out, cut into biscuits and bake at Gas6 for about ten mins, depending on size. Cool on a rack - they will crisp up more.
