Ingredientes para 40 - 50 biscuits

This makes for a large quantity. I frequently half the amount. The baking time is only 20 mins or so but there is a bit of chilling/faff time. Well worth it though! I have made these for a decade and have lost count of the number of times I've been asked for the recipe. You can chill or freeze any leftover dough. They are lovely served with pre-dinner drinks.

335g plain flour
300g parmesan, freshly grated
300g unsalted butter, chilled and diced (yes - a lot of butter!)
1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teapoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1-2 tablespoons cold water

To finish
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons sesame sees
2 tablespoons black onion (nigella) seeds
