Maroque’s Christmas count down

Maroque’s Christmas count down

I'm a little behind in posting these, so 3 all in one day!

 

With apparently 8 sleeps till Christmas I have pulled together a few ideas to inspire you. Recipes, shopping, table decorating ideas, oh and a few cocktails.

Starting with a recipe that always goes down a treat, but shush… don’t tell them how easy they are!
I would love to know how they go down?

 

Cumin scented cheese crumbles

The crumbles go very well with a glass of fizz.

 90g butter
225g cheddar cheese grated
170g plain flour
1 egg yolk
1/4 tsp salt
A pinch of cayenne
1 tsp cumin seeds

1. Heat the oven to 220C. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together to form a crumb like texture, similar to making crumble topping. Don't squeeze it into a ball.

2. Take a tablespoon of the dough at a time and form into balls about 3cm across. Place the balls on a greased or non stick baking tray and flatten slightly with your fingers. Leave enough room for them to spread as they cook.

3. Transfer to the hot oven and bake for about 15 minutes until slightly risen and golden.

4. Allow to cool and serve.
