The Story Behind The Recipe
We always make these with any leftover pastry from our jam tarts. But sometimes, when the craving for some cheesy treats hits us - we make the full amount from this recipe.
My father adored cheese and it appears to be a family trait, as when I made these recently with my grandson, he ate more of the grated cheese than ended up in the biscuits! They still tasted lovely though.
Perfect for a party, they are delish with a drink or 2.
