Preparation

What You Need

1 cup (250 ml) milk

1/3 cup (80 ml) cold butter, cut into bits

1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt

1 tsp (5 ml) dry mustard

1/4 tsp (1 ml) black pepper

Pinch of cayenne pepper

1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour

4 eggs

1 tbsp (15 ml) milk

1 cup (250 ml) grated Canadian Swiss or

Cheddar cheese

3 tbsp (50 ml) grated Canadian Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp (25 ml) sesame seeds

Instructions

Combine milk, butter, salt, mustard, pepper and cayenne in a medium-sized saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; beat in flour all at once and stir until mixture forms a ball of dough. Return to medium heat; cook a few minutes longer scraping mixture along the bottom of pot to dry dough slightly.

Transfer dough to a bowl; cool 5 min. Beat in three eggs, one at a time. Mixture will be slippery. Beat the fourth egg lightly and reserve 2 tbsp (30 mL) egg with 1 tbsp (15 mL) milk. Beat remaining egg into dough. Add both cheeses; combine well.

Butter a cookie sheet; dust lightly with flour; trace out an 8-inch (22 cm) circle. Spoon batter in mounds around the outside edge of circle; mounds should barely touch each other. Brush tops with egg-milk mixture; sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake in a preheated oven at 425 °F (210 °C) for 10 min. Reduce heat to 350 °F (180 °C); continue to bake 45 to 55 min longer or until biscuits are firm and golden. Serve warm.
