CHEESY FEET
I have mentioned my cookie-cutter collection elsewhere, and knowing of children's predilection for the grosser things in life, how could I resist - when given a set of foot-shaped cutters by a friend back from New York - making some suitable cheese-tasting biscuits with them. Naturally, they went down a storm. I've been tempted to serve them with drinks for grown-ups (as, actually, they taste fabulous) but am worried that the mixture between yucky and cute might not play so well there. I wouldn't want to embarrass myself, you do see.

Ingredients
- 100g Cheddar cheese, grated
- 25g soft butter
- 50g plain flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Method
Serves: Makes 16, or thereabouts
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 6/200°C.
- Put all of the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until the dough comes together. Just be patient: it will happen, I promise you. Form into a fat disc, wrap in clingfilm and let it rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floury surface to roughly 3mm in thickness, and cut out your feet with your cutters. You can keep re-rolling this dough and cutting out feet until it is all used up.
- Put them on to a lined baking sheet and cook in the oven for 10 minutes for the smaller feet, and 12 minutes for the bigger feet (see the photograph).
- The biscuits will continue to crisp up as they cool on a rack, so take them out when they're still a little soft in the middle.
- Additional information - for vegetarians make sure the cheese is one made with vegetarian rennet.

Am such a "Bossy Pants",yet putting in some minced Pecan Meats and a slight Pinch of Sweet Paprika/Cayenne will give a nice mouth feel for Adults at Parties.Goes well with Champagne. Can be addictively Delicious with Nuts and Spice added.Enjoy them so much.{Without is Fine too.Still as Lovely as Nigella printed}.Thank You,again!

These are amazing! I used a star cutter and took them into work - everyone asked for more.
