Directions
-
Sift the self-raising flour into a large mixing bowl.
-
Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the well-chilled butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Crumble the Roquefort cheese into the flour mixture and mix thoroughly with your fingers to form a cohesive dough.
-
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
-
Meanwhile, place sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat and stir frequently until golden and fragrant.
-
Remove the seeds from heat and allow them to cool completely.
-
Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC) and grease two baking sheets.
-
Remove dough from refrigerator and shape into 36 small, equal-sized balls.
-
Toss each ball in the toasted sesame seeds, pressing gently to coat well, then flatten slightly into discs.
-
Arrange the coated biscuits on the prepared baking sheets, pressing lightly with a fork.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
-
Cool completely on wire racks before storing in an airtight container.
