3. 3

   Stir in the parmesan, seasoning and cayenne pepper.

4. 4

   Work the mixture together into a ball and then knead briefly on a work surface lightly dusted with flour until smooth.

5. 5

   Cut the dough in half, flatten each piece slightly, then roll out thinly between 2 large sheets of Saran.

6. 6

   Lift off the top piece of Saran and cut into 2in biscuits.

   Carefully lift them onto a lightly buttered baking sheet, then knead together and re-roll the trimmings to make more biscuits. You should make about 30 biscuits in total.
