Step 1: You will need.

  • 210 g self-raising flour
  • 100 g ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 100 g butter, room temperature
  • 100 g crème fraiche or sour cream
  • 50 g emmental cheese, grated
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • half tbsp cumin seeds (queue-min)
  • 50 g flour, for dusting
  • Wax paper
  • 1 Baking tray
  • 1 Bowl
  • Plastic wrap
  • 1 Rolling pin
  • 1 Small cutter
  • 1 brush
  • 1 spoon

Step 2: Preheat the oven.

Begin by preheating the oven to 180 degrees centigrade.

Step 3: Add the ingredients and mix.

Into the mixing bowl add the flour, butter, crème fraiche, ricotta cheese, emmental cheese and the egg. Mix on a low power to combine the ingredients.

Step 4: Allow to chill.

Transfer the combined ingredients from the mixing bowl into a smaller bowl. Cover with a plastic wrap and allow to chill until cold (approximately 15 minutes).

Step 5: Make the biscuits.

Using the rolling pan, flatten the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 5mm. Using the cutter, punch out the biscuits and place on a tray lined with wax paper. Roll out the used dough, flatten it out again and cut more biscuits.

Step 6: Finish the biscuits.

Brush the biscuits with the egg mixture and sprinkle on sesame and/or cumin seeds.

Step 7: Bake.

Place the biscuits into the oven and cook for 15 minutes.

Step 8: Serve.

Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve piping hot - perfect as a light snack!
