INGREDIENTS​:
  • Oil or melted butter
  • 1 cup plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 100g (½ cup) chilled butter, chopped

  • 60g (1/2 cup) cheddar cheese, grated
  • 60g (1/2 cup) shredded parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to moderate 180C/356F. Brush two oven trays with melted butter or oil.
