2 cups flour
10 tbsp (1 stick (125 gr) + 2 tbsp) unsalted butter, room temperature
3-4 tbsp kasar or mozzarella cheese, grated
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
Garnish:
2 egg yolks
Kasar or Mozzarella cheese, grated
Nigella seeds (black sesame seeds)
Cayenne pepper
Place the flour in a large bowl and make a hole at the middle. Add the rest of the ingredients, knead. Don’t knead too much! When the dough comes together, roll it 1.0 cm thick using a roller. Cut the dough with 3.5 cm wide cookie cutters (picture). Make about 35 biscuits.
Put parchment paper on the oven tray. Place the biscuits on it. First eggwash the tops, then sprinkle some Nigella seeds, grated cheese or cayenne pepper all over (picture).
Preheat the oven to 375 F (180 C). Place the oven tray on the middle rack. Bake for about between 20-25 minutes. You can serve Turkish Spicy Biscuits with afternoon tea or with soup.
