  • ¾ tsp organic traditional salt

Method

01
Grind Apricot Kernels in electric grinder down to a powder.
02
Roughly chop the butter and beat it with the cheddar, chilli flakes, salt, paprika and garlic until smooth. Use either a food processor or do it by hand.
03
Add the flour and water, work everything into a smooth, soft dough, and then stir in the ground apricot kernels.
04
Spoon the mixture on to a sheet of nonstick baking paper, roll it into a cylinder about 4cm thick and 30 cm long, then chill for a couple of hours to use on the day - or freeze it for later.
05
To bake, heat the oven to 180C (fan assisted 160C)/350F/gas mark
06
Cut the dough cylinder into ½ cm thick slices and place them a few centimetres apart on a lined baking tray. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden.
