Ingredients
- ½ cup wholewheat pastry flour
- 1 cup sharp cheddar coarsely grated (1 cup is approx 3 ½oz)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter cut into small chunks
- 2 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Mix the flour, cheese, salt and butter in a food processor until fairly well mixed - it should be like breadcrumbs. Add the water one tablespoon at a time and pulse until it comes together in lumps.
- Remove dough from the food processor, bring together in a ball and chill for 20min or more, if possible (although as long as not too hot, you can use straight away, it's just a little easier to work with chilled).
- Preheat oven to 350F/175C and line baking sheet(s) with with parchment paper.
- Roll out the dough to about as thin as you are comfortable rolling (about ⅛in/1mm) then cut out as you prefer either with small cutters or cut into small squares. Poke small holes into them, if you wish (it will help reduce bubbled up texture).
- Put your shapes on to the prepared baking sheets and bake around 15min until starting to go golden.

Notes
If you would like to add flaxseed meal, add around 2-4 tablespoon to the flour-cheese mixture at the start.
