Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan/gas 4. For the biscuits, put the flour, butter, bicarb, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Using your fingertips, crumble the ingredients together until they resemble breadcrumbs. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well by hand. Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of non-stick baking paper (it’s very soft and sticky) to a 5mm thick rectangle, then chill for 1 hour or until firm.
  2. Remove the dough from the fridge, remove the top paper and cut the dough into 50 x 3cm squares. Line a large baking sheet with non-stick baking paper, then lift the biscuits onto it using a palette knife. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  3. To make the goat’s cheese topping, whisk all the ingredients, apart from the cream and honey, in a large bowl until combined. Stir in the cream, then taste and season. Depending on the water content of the goat’s cheese, you may need more cream. Spoon or pipe the topping onto the biscuits, drizzle with honey (if using) and sprinkle with rosemary and a tiny bit of cayenne pepper, if using.
