Blue cheese and sesame biscuits

Method

1. Put all the ingredients apart from the sesame seeds in a food processor and pulse until a dough forms. If you don’t have a food processor, put the flour and butter in a mixing bowl and rub to a crumb-like consistency using your fingers. Add the parmesan and crumble in the blue cheese, then bring together into a dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hour.
2. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Once the dough has chilled, form it into 30 balls about the size of large cherries or small walnuts, rolling them between your palms. Put the sesame seeds on a plate and roll the balls in the seeds to coat.
3. Put the balls on a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking paper and press your thumb into the centre of each biscuit. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits are a light golden brown and you can smell a lovely cheesy aroma. Cool on a rack and serve with dry sherry or another aperitif.
