Ingredients

2 cup (300g) plain flour

1/2 cup (50g) self-raising flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon mild paprika

250 gram butter, chopped

2 cup (160g) finely grated parmesan

2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes

2 tablespoon water, approximately

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderately slow (160°C/140°C fan-forced).

2.Sift flours, salt and paprika into a medium bowl; rub in butter. Stir in cheese, chilli flakes and enough water to make a soft dough. Knead dough gently on a lightly floured surface until smooth.

3.Roll heaped teaspoons of the dough into balls; place on greased oven trays 3cm apart. Flatten biscuits slightly. Using a 1cm icing tube or similar, make a design on top of the biscuits. Sprinkle biscuits with poppy seeds, if desired.

4.Bake biscuits for about 30 minutes or until browned lightly. Cool on trays.
