#cheese biscuits

I’ve occasionally mentioned the delicious little Parmesan Biscuits from “Savouries a la Mode” (1897) by Mrs de Salis.

A couple of days ago I saw another recipe (full-article link) this time involving caraway seeds, @dduane​ gave it a try yesterday afternoon, and it was highly successful!

Here’s the recipe-only link; it’s meant to produce about 20 biscuits.

Using a smaller cutter for better comparison with the de Salis version made about 50; here they are, including cooled triple-stacks at the rear right but excluding a few which had to be sampled in case something had gone wrong. (That’s our excuse anyway...)

The recipe also says “best eaten warm”; yes for a softer texture, however we found that leaving them to cool completely keeps that soft crumble in the middle while developing a pleasing crunch round the edges. I’d also suggest letting them get cold before putting them in the obligatory airtight container; warm might cause soggy, and that would never do.

Some puffed up a little more than others; they stayed softer, too. NB, since not everyone likes caraway (my Dad was one) try using coarse-ground or mortar-cracked black peppercorns.

I have a feeling - to be acted on really soon - that this recipe will lend itself to tweaking: substitute the caraway with whole cumin-seeds toasted in a dry pan, grated Cheddar and a spoonful of favourite chili-con-carne mix or trusted curry powder. I intend to try making both. :-D

And, since I mentioned Mrs de Salis at the beginning, here’s her recipe.

Adding more cayenne or even hot chilli powder does no harm; for one thing all that cheese, egg and butter seem to blunt the burn, and for another these are tiny one-bite biscuits meant to accompany a little drinkie, so the succession of diminutive spicy explosions work really well.
