These fun and savory Nigella Cheesy Feet biscuits are buttery, cheesy, and perfect for kids and adults alike. Made with simple ingredients, these biscuits are easy to whip up and make a great snack or party treat.
Ingredients Needed:
- 100 grams grated Cheddar cheese
- 25 grams of soft butter
- 50 grams of plain flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
How To Make Cheesy Feet?
- Preheat the Oven: Heat the oven to 200°C.
- Make the Dough: Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blitz until the dough forms. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in clingfilm, and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Roll and Cut: Roll the dough on a floured surface to about 3mm thick. Use foot-shaped cutters to cut out the biscuits. Re-roll any leftover dough and repeat until all dough is used.
- Bake the Biscuits: Place the feet-shaped biscuits on a lined baking tray and bake for 10 minutes (for small feet) or 12 minutes (for large feet).
- Cool and Crisp: Let the biscuits cool on a wire rack. They will crisp up as they cool but remain slightly soft in the center.
Recipe Tips:
- Choose Good Cheese: Use high-quality Cheddar cheese for the best flavor, and ensure it’s vegetarian-friendly if needed.
- Chill the Dough: Don’t skip the chilling step, as it makes the dough easier to roll and helps the biscuits hold their shape.
- Don’t Overbake: Remove the biscuits from the oven while still slightly soft in the middle to avoid over-drying.
- Re-roll Carefully: Avoid adding too much flour when re-rolling the dough to keep the texture light.
- Use Custom Cutters: If you don’t have foot-shaped cutters, try stars, hearts, or any shape you prefer.
How To Store Leftovers?
Once cooled, store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They may soften slightly over time but will still taste great.
