Savoury Chive Biscuits
Recipe by Graham
Ideal for entertaining, you can load these savoury biscuits with cream cheese or use them as a snack source with a slice of tomato on top. Versatility and taste too!
Serve Savoury Chive Biscuits either on their own or with Avocado and Cheese Dip, Tapenade or Walnut Dip. If served with dips, you can either allow your guests to dip them themselves, or you can pipe a little of the dip on the top of each biscuit, and top with a thin slice of stuffed olive, or sprinkle a tiny amount of chopped parsley over.

How to Cook Savoury Chive Biscuits
- Cream the butter and cheese together in a bowl until well blended. Sift the flour through a sieve (strainer) into the mix and add the chopped chives. Mix with a fork until everything is well combined.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board or other flat surface and roll it out to about ¼" (5mm) thickness. Using a plain-edged cookie cutter or upturned eggcup (or similar) cut the dough into rounds of about 1½" (3.5cm). Place these well apart on a lightly greased baking tray and bake in a preheated moderately hot oven (Mk 6 - 400ºF - 200ºC) for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
Be sure to chop the chives very fine. They are there to impart flavour, not particularly to be seen.
What To Eat Tonight
Not everything is right for freezing. Some foods, however, just beg to go into the freezer waiting for that moment when you need them most!
Lamb is sometimes thought of as "tough" meat but, properly cooked, it is one of the finest meats for both everyday and when entertaining.
When the winter chill sets in, there's nothing like a plate of hot comfort to make you feel good about the world outside.
