Very easy to make. Taste delicious, and still delicious the next day when warmed up. I can't say how long they would last - these were all eaten within 2 days. Next time I will try to roll the dough out and use cookie cutters, so that they are all the same size, for better presentation!
Cut them too thick so had to flatten a few, hence the varied shapes...BUT they disappeared almost as soon as they hit the plate. A wow with the guests. Fantastic
Glad everyone enjoyed them, we think they look great and it's the taste that counts right? Happy spicing!
Have made these twice over Christmas and ordered more packets for me and my Mum, who is also a fan of them! They did not last long, are easy to make and absolutely delicious. I'm going to make sure I always have a pack of this spice mix in the cupboard!
Looks like they came out perfectly- we can see why they didn't last very long! Thanks for sharing and happy spicing!
Tasty biscuits! So easy to make, they will definitely be a regular feature in my household!
They look great - nice one!
Also makes a terrific addition for a cheese scone.
Great idea! Happy spicing!
Savoury, spicy shortbread biscuits, what’s not to like. Chicken balti and mushroom Bhaji. Deeeelllicious
WOW this looks like a scrumptious spread, the aromas in the kitchen must have been glorious!
Wonderful biscuits! Very easy (snd fast) to make :)
Yum, looks good Meytal Nothing makes the house smell more inviting than freshly baked (spicy!) biscuits!
Made these last week. I bought a 3 portion size and my other half insisted I made more today. They are absolutely excellent. Easy to make, I used a good strong cheddar they were delicious. Great taste nice heat to them which we love. Need to order more now. Many thanks excellent Sylvia Hooper
We're so pleased to hear how much you're loving these Spicy Cheese Biscuits, Sylvia! Definitely a great savoury bake to whip up during the festive season!
Well - would you believe, I received the biscuit spice mix amongst other things from The Spicery at 12 noon. I'd made the biscuits by 3pm. It is an hour later and I am ordering MORE of this wonderful mix. I will be making these biscuits for friends and family as a host gift. I'll also be making them for us as an aperitif with a glass of white wine. Awesome.
Haha - we're so pleased to hear how much you love this spicy cheese biscuit blend (we think it's pretty delicious too!). Great idea to make these biscuits as a gift for friends and family, and as an aperitif!
Another Spicery 'must have'. Not only are the biscuits totally evil but its great in a cheese scone or added to a shortcrust pastry mix for savoury tarts and pasties
We love hearing all of the different ways that you've been freestyling with our spice blends! Spicy cheese scones - YUM!
