Method

  1. Step 1

    Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C, gas mark 4) and line 2 baking sheets with non-stick baking parchment.

  2. Step 2

    Mix together all of the biscuit ingredients until just combined and a soft dough is formed. Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.

     

    Ingredients for this step

    • Allinson's Plain White Flour (150g)
    • Parmesan (75g)
    • Unsalted butter (softened) (100g)
    • Salt (0.25 tsp)
    • Free range egg yolk (1)
  3. Step 3

    Remove from the fridge and roll the dough into small balls approximately 2.5cm in diameter. Place onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a gap between each of approximately 3cm to allow for any spreading in the oven.

  4. Step 4

    Gently press your thumb into the centre of each biscuit until a small hollow is created.

  5. Step 5

    Place approximately ½ teaspoon of red onion marmalade into the centre of each biscuit, filling the hollow. Top the marmalade on each biscuit with a small piece of goat’s cheese.

  6. Step 6

    Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the biscuits and goats cheese are just starting to colour slightly.

  7. Step 7

    Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly before serving.
