I have mentioned my cookie-cutter collection elsewhere and knowing of children's predilection for the grosser things in life, how could I resist — when given a set of foot-shaped cutters by a friend back from New York — making some suitably cheese-tasting cooking with them.
Naturally, they went down a storm. I've been tempted to serve them with drinks for grown-ups (as, actually, they taste fabulous) but am worried that the mixture between yucky and cute might not play so well there. I wouldn't want to embarrass myself, you do see.
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Put all of the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until the dough comes together. Just be patient: it will happen, I promise you. Form into a fat disc, wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.
3. Roll out the dough on a floury surface to roughly 1/8-inch in thickness, and cut out your feet with your cutters. You can keep re-rolling this dough and cutting out feet until it is all used up.
4. Put them onto a lined baking sheet and cook in the oven for 10 minutes for the smaller feet, and 12 minutes for the bigger feet.
5. The biscuits will continue to crisp up as they cool on a rack, so take them out when they're still a little soft in the middle.
