- 1 teaspoon Hot smoked paprika
- 57 g Cold unsalted butter diced
- 227 g Strong cheddar cheese, grated or cubed.
- 30 g Hazelnuts - ideally skinless
- 3-4 tablespoon Cold water
Instructions
- In a food procession, blitz the hazelnuts into small pieces (not dust!)Add flour, salt, paprika, butter, and pulse to have it resemble coarse texture. Add the cheese and pulse to combine.
- Starting with 1 tablespoon of cold water, add and pulse until the dough comes together in a ball. You might not need all the water. Wrap and stick in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350F at least 15min before using.
- Roll out dough to just under 1/2 a cm thick, and use a cookie cutter about the size of a toonie. Place on a baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Bake for about 15-20min. Keep an eye so they don’t burn, but they should be golden brown and fully baked.
