Why not liven up tinned soup with these delicious cheese rings.
Ingredients:-
6 ounces of plain flour
Half a teaspoon of cream of tartar
Half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
Half a teaspoon of salt
A sprinkle of black pepper OR cayenne powder if you like things spicy
Half an ounce of fresh butter
2 ounces of cream cheese
2 or 3 tablespoons of milk
A little beaten egg
2 tablespoons of grated Cheddar cheese
Method:-
Sift the powdered ingredients into a bowl. Rub in the cream cheese and butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Blend with milk to a soft dough. With light strokes, roll out fairly thin and use a round cutter to make rings. Brush over with egg and dip into the grated cheese. Bake in a moderately hot oven for 10-12 minutes. They should be nicely risen and golden coloured. Re-roll some of the leftover pastry if you wish to make more. Serve piping hot on top of soup, tinned or homemade.
